The thing that has held me back from a golf membership is the old paying for a membership and then your buddies don't want to play at your course every week so you up end spending another $1500 on other rounds on top of your membership.
This one alleviates that a bit so your friends don't get single course fatigue from golfing with you. (young professional got raised from 30 to 35 years old this season).

As far as the "playing with friends" angle, I was a little concerned about that, and I guess I've spent a little more going to some other courses. But I've also played with a bunch of new people this year and realised pretty quickly that no one cares whether you're a good golfer. I feel like that's a hang-up that a lot of higher handicappers have, but it's so irrelevant.
The truth is no one cares what you shoot. If you take a million practice swings, look for every ball as though its a family heirloom and view each putt from every angle then yeah...people aren't going to be pleased to play with you. But the reality is that if you keep a decent pace, and are a generally friendly and nice person, people are welcoming and nice in return. It's pretty much common sense, in my eyes.
For me, having a membership has been great. I've met a lot of new people, made some new friends and just have more people to golf with. That doesn't mean that I abandoned my other friends that I played with, it just added to my overall rounds this year.
