Only golf/spa memberships are sold to non-property owners. Hacienda/sports memberships are only sold to property owners.
Also, I doubt the course would be “flooded” with new golfers at $43k in today’s market. They dropped the price to infuse new ‘blood’ into the club and allow people on the ‘get out’ list a chance to escape the $1,100/mo minimum fee. Remember, they are only around 275+/- golf members vs. a cap of 425+/-.
As a golf member, the facility is top shelf and compares well with the other top tier clubs in the region. Service is #1, hands down. Spa is world class in its service. And all that staff just waiting around makes your experience a great escape from daily life. Expensive, but worth it if it is in the budget.
