Most of the tops courses are owned by the members (not all, e.g. places like Turnberry and Gleneagles). The members vote to appoint a Board to make decisions such as setting green fees. The Board is made up of members of the club.Why do you think that the members set the club green fees...? Bizarre.
And if you think that people don't play top courses 'on principle' then dream on.
