It has happened, especially in South Carolina, that after the development is sold out when the developer controlled the golf courses he decided the golf course wasn't needed for marketing and wasn't making enough money that land was better suited for condos!
The villagers don't own the golf courses and once development is complete they loose their marketing value? HHMMM? Shouldn't I be concerned? Just wondering.
This is a concern of mine as well. I'm hoping that some well-informed people can respond that these concerns have no merit.
