Who is the sponsor of his guest pass?
How is he able to get the enhanced rate?
How does he play with a group?
In any event if this person shared all this with me, my first stop after playing would be the pro shop to speak with the pro. It’s not too late for you to do the right thing.

I'm not sure it's my responsibility, to make sure golfers pay the appropriate rate. In this instance, I KNOW he paid the proper rate when he played with me (RG).
As near as I can tell, the "flaw in the system" is the way "Groups" can book ... & then they get to the course and drive the Starters crazy, moving people from one foursome to another.
I was in the golf business and if I were King of the Villages Golf System, I cut that stuff out the very first day. You book a foursome, that's the foursome that plays together. If someone drops out at the last minute, tough luck and he pays a "no show" fee, plus gets points added.
I don't know how many times I've listened to guys complain about their group's Tee Times and how hard it is to get them and how much effort it takes. At any decent Private Club in the USA, you'd have a hard time booking any more than (2) Tee Times, in the middle of prime time, in prime season.
