It is thought by some the amount of available property had something to do with why 18 holes became the golf course standard in Scotland years ago. A more sinister theory (why 18 holes) is that it took that many holes for a foursome to drink a bottle of Scotch as they strolled the coastal sand dunes commonly referred to as the links.

Good question, I don’t have the answer, except that it definitely is no because of a lack of land. It has become very apparent that golf is no longer nearly as important as walking trails under the new generation of the Villages developers family. Go figure? At least our home, which is near lots of Championship Golf, should retain its value as long as Golf remains important to retirees.
