There are many LPGA and PGA Tournments held on Courses with houses on most holes. The sticky point is finding a sponsor willing to ante up the several million needed to sponsor a first class Tournment. A LPGA Tournment was held in my hometown for several years until the sponsor (State Farm) pulled out. State Farm claimed they were not getting "their money worth" out of sponsoring a LPGA event.
