Semi-private courses give you the best of both worlds. Members get priority access and reduced rates, while outside players can book available tee times at public pricing. These courses tend to be well-maintained with a more relaxed atmosphere than fully private clubs. A solid option if you want quality conditioning without the membership commitment.
