Default TV Country Club Memberships? Worth it?

I have been looking at this info on the TV website but I need a little clarification, and what better place to ask questions than right here on TOTV.

As I read it on TV's site, the only way to get a priority pool membership is by purchasing a golf membership. Am I correct? (We will never be worthy of championship golf.)

And what are the benefits of a priority pool membership? I know they are for the country club pools, but what's the difference? Is it poolside food and bar service? Anything else?

We have not bought yet, but this is something I want to know about. If we do buy, it would be a second home. We do not want to own a rental. We just want to have something available whenever we can get there. We would be snowbirds, sort of, or is it snowdrops when you come and go whenever? (Or maybe I would just be a snowflake.) ...but I digress.

Soooo....Not good golfers. But I am really good at hanging out at swimming pools. (slathered in sunscreen, of course. -- I would be the pale woman in the black swimsuit from the Lands End catalog. I would be wearing a big hat and huge sunglasses, and reading a book.) So please tell me about this membership thing. I am trying to figure out if it would be worth it to have one, considering that golf is not a priority for us. It does not look like the pool part can be bought separately. It looks like it's an add-on. (I hope I am wrong.) And is there anything else that might make it worth springing for the whole shebang anyway? --like could we take visitors to the championship courses, as long as we went along? (we would hurry)

Thank you.
