I don't get the blood pressure thing. Every homeowner pay the "amenity fee". That covers everything that is common area in TV. All those hardworking landscapers you see everywhere, the community patrols cruising and watching, the care and upkeep of all the multi-modal trails, etc.

Like stated previously, you're paying whether you are a golfer or not. If you do play golf there are no greens fees to do so. It ostensibly free. Your golf cart? Well, you must pay for that privilege, but you may walk the course and not pay. It's your choice.
