The key word is "general public". I doubt a golf course would qualify as "general public". 

Some of the communications companies allow customers to use their assigned frequencies. Basically rent air time. That way one can avoid the license maintenance. They make use of repeaters, so there is good coverage.

Use of radios for commercial purposes requires a FCC Commercial license, in which they assign a frequency for you to use. Best bet is to work with P&R or one of their competitors. 



Hi, Jim:

Thanks.
Delmar suggested MURS:

"The FCC formally defines MURS as "a private, two-way, short-distance voice or
data communications service for personal or business activities of the general public."

I found:

The 'top rated' radio was:

at < $60.

I did not know MURS existed until this morning.
