Longleaf is very boring. Except for the par-4 #3, every hole looks the same. There is either a gullly on the right or a gully on the left, with very little landing area for a short-hitting unskilled golfer. On a lot of holes, the houses are much too close, and the homeowners will have golf balls being hit into their lanais.
Other than that...……...Betcha they will be busy all the time. Lovely view for a lot of homes and many a nice walk spoiled for the walkers and a sweet diversion for the folks in carts. The bushes and shrubs and trees will grow fast as all things in Florida do, and change the look of these courses in 18 months. And the price to play???? Good indeed. For free take, for buy complain.
