All in all...another superfluous benefit
As one of those members I can tell you that I agree. I'm a scratch and I wouldn't pay $150 to play most TPC courses. It's more like $250 if you're factoring in a tip for the caddy (the way a round should be played).

To me this is more marketing overload with no real value. United: focused on everything except actually operating an enjoyable airline.
