We just got back from Sedona Golf Resort where we own a deeded week (resale deal) & are not members of DRI. We also got the VIP checkin & politely refused the "owners update". We bought this week to use & it's a short drive from where we live in Tucson. I have never seen any benefit in joining the "Club" since we only want to use this week. In an earlier sales presentation, the salesman said as non-Club owners, our ability to reserve our week in the future would be compromised. When I called the Resort late to ask about this I was told it was not true. We have not had trouble reserving our week as non-Club owners so far.
