A championship course cannot survive without an adequate customer base, which still doesn't exist.
I think you are parsing words. Many folks in TV buy or bought homes with the expectation (expressed in the sales pitch) of executive golf courses and a readily accessible championship course. It may not be technically an amenity but it is an expected feature included in the sales pitch.
