The Championship courses are privately owned businesses and have their own management staff that makes its own decisions on the operation. They are NOT amenities of The Villages.
Something that most people don't realize is how much revenue has been lost by the Championship courses due to their closure during the water dumping to lower the retention pond system levels. Their revenue is zero and they still have to pay the maintenance staff as they are still working. There is also e loss at the retail stores and restaurants when these courses are closed for dumping.

Thanks for the explanation. I was not complaining, just wondering.
