We used to play a lot of golf when we first came here. Our experience was that it was extremely rare to find a group that didn't require a priority membership. As others have mentioned, if one person in the group is not priority, the computer puts the whole group in the lowest tier and the group gets whatever the leftover tee times are.. and in the high season, the group won't get a tee time at all. Occasionally, even with everyone being a priority member, the group might not get a tee time in the high season. So if you are hoping to be in a group, you better get the membership. We played as singles for awhile, but really enjoyed the social aspect of playing with the same people (in a group) once we started doing that. Men's and Ladies day are a wonderful opportunity to meet people, and often groups are formed based on these new friendships, or you might be invited to join a group. Enjoy!
