Easier just to give it to members or people paying green fees.

They didn't have to do much. It seems whatever t times that are not booked afternoon, they gave them to EG players. So when you book with EG, there is a tee time assigned to those spots already. The tee times are mostly in the afternoon (>3pm or twilight) so it's not really ideal but for some it is a chance to play a nicer course in the city at discounted price (~20% off). For budget conscious players, nothing beats discounted golf club membership regardless if these premium courses are going way from the clubs. You can't beat playing at 30$/round where regular this year at most courses are 45-50$/round. I think you will see a drop off in golf players. Everything is going up in the last 6 months - gas price, food, equipment, clothing and some will choose carefully to take their money elsewhere for cheaper. entertainment/relaxation.
