At some places, you pay a caddie fee upon check in for your tee time, and then are responsible for a gratuity that’s paid directly to the caddie after the round—typically about 30-40 percent of the caddie fee (giving more or less depending on the level of service you felt you received). At other courses, you pay everything directly to the caddie.

I am joining a local country club this season, and I ask: Is it wrong to ask my guests to pay their greens fees?

If you've paid for a membership at the club then effectively your friends not paying is the same as you paying again.

Whenever I get invited to a club I typically expect to pay for the round. If however the price is higher and that person is always asking me to go to their club because that's the only place they want to play, I may hint at a free round here or there.

I offer to pay part of the fee. If me and my friend went to a public course I would be shelling out ~40-60 bucks for the round. If we play my home course my friend would pay 70 and I would pay 0. Seems fair to me to pay half so we both save money and play a nicer course. Obviously with a 4some the math changes a bit.
