That's why when I played I preferred to pay for private courses. Mostly though I was invited by rich friends through work

Really, in 50+ years of playing public golf courses, in many states, I’ve never experienced that.

Location, it's all about location. Not as many rednecks in your neck of the woods.

The last time I set foot on a public course was in the 1990's, San Bernadino CA. A couple of a-holes that were in front of us started arguing and though it didn't get this bad when my dumb ass partner yelled at them to move it along they turned their attention to us. It didn't get physical but it was pretty trashy. From that point on I avoided public courses.

I haven't played golf in years but when I was the sous chef at a country club I got in good with the right people and was invited to play not only on the club's course but I was also invited to join in on some other nice courses. I did insist on paying for my own green fees but yeah, you get used to those places it's hard to play on a public course.

Too soon old, too late smart
Do remember growing up, a guy in our group got into it with a slow-poke and after a ball hit into them, got into a fist-throwing, club swinging altercation. Not pretty, even though no significant damage done. Member of tOSU golf courses for 15 years, courtesy of my father, and then many years of muni experiences. Have played for last 25 years at a country club, and there's still slow pokes, and groups that simply won't let you play through. However at a CC, a report to the head pro will get them an admonishment/scolding, especially if one or two of your group are Board members.

The guy yelling, "Cut it out," is not someone I want in my group on the course.

I must be lucky or drunk or both to have never really experienced "slow" play. I admit that I golf more for the time drinking with friends versus giving a shit about golf etiquette/rules.
However, I live off the 4th tee at a public (dudes wear jorts and sleeveless tees (not in Florida)) course. They overbook all the time. I have seen 4 to 5 carts backed up at the tee box before.

Loveland, not uncommon. Used to play a muni on SF Peninsula. One of us would get there 5:30 or 6:00ish, and put our ball in the rack. Starter would pull out the ball, and call it out, and that foursome would be on the tee. Mixed up with actual reservations, you might get off around 8:00. I feel for you, country club treatment is so much nicer. Only backup occurs on a holiday, when the working stiffs want on the course, but then we have tee times those days (still have cart back-ups, and people starting on #10). PS, muni's don't much care who you are, their bosses are the city manager, or somesuch, and also, the starter stands tall, as he controls who gets out first....good luck. One note, however. The country clubbers have to pay a half ton of money every month for this privilege.
