Many are "semi-private" which is what many formerly private clubs have become as a way to attract more players. These new semi-private places still have members, but also allow non-members to play at certain times or for higher rates. Members will often only need to pay a cart fee every time they hit the holes. They are also not subject to tee time restrictions.
