Problem is all residents need to speak up.
Priority members get a discount of $17 per 18 holes of Championship golf in the winter months of Jan-Apr, $12 per round in the fall months of Oct-Dec, and $7 per round in the remaining five months. Pretty good discount.

If a person plays 60 rounds per year evenly spaced among the 12 months, the priority fee pays for itself. More than 60 rounds, greater savings. I am a year around resident, play priority championship golf, wife does not play championship, my costs are fair.
