If I'm correct, the association or club sets the price for the GHIN membership, but any golfer has the option of going directly to the FGA and paying them. However, it's $35 if you get it directly from FGA.

If I understand the system correctly, the entity that owns the Championship courses, and does the money collecting, is giving their "members" a $5 break, as a perk for paying the Enhanced fee.
The OP's complaint makes no more sense than if he were complaining about paying a higher greens fee than the Enhanced Member, since as a non-enhanced member, he is getting the same product, but at a higher price.

Wrong. Not getting the same product. ie., no tee time priority etc.
