Here's MHO plus some words of wisdom from local friends.
First : buy trail fee and use the season
The seasonal folks are away and the executive courses are wide open. The wife and I walk out on Bacall after 6:30...no res.
She plays her best and I drop from 150 and putt to practice; best practice field around.
Second : you can get a look at a Pro course for dirt...6 bucks or so at many after 4 and you've got daylight till 7:45
Third : think about which clubs to join. For me it's location and I'm not joining any without a real driving range (just my opinion)...Also use of the pool is not automatically part of your priority membership.
...and here's a bad one...
some of my nameless friends also say that they moved up to priority and are now making the resies for everybody!...food for thought.
Don't yell at me, anybody I'm new here and would just like to "work the system" so as not to embarras myself when it's time to really play.

Making reservations for non-priority members does nothing to "game the system". They do NOT get the priority discount and you don't get priority tee times, if you have non-priority players in your group. It's common for one person to make the tee time for a foursome and not everyone is always priority members.
We play championship golf about 4 times per week, even in the high season and have never had any problems getting tee times. Priority member or not.
It's more cost effective to join all clubs, if you join at all. The cost to go from one to all is minimal. ...and you do get pools included automatically, as well as trail fees.
Enjoy...
