Yeah greed does get hold of everything in the end, problem is they are marketing for the people that go out once or twice a year and don't mind paying that much because they are on holidays or its a one off etc etc.
Its catch 22 you can play a lot better courses for your money over here but the day could be spoiled by the weather over there you are virtually guaranteed the weather but you paying over the odds for the game.
No easy solution apart from the ex pat members lobbying there club,
good luck
