Sorry, I didn't realize that the number of posts had anything to do with an opinion on the need for additional golf courses.
To answer your question, I have experience in planning for parks and recreation on a state and county level. The Villages is a math issue. The last champ course built was 2014 and the population was approx 112000, the population in 2018 was 122000 and projected growth of 65,000 new homes which will double the population. A new golf course takes 18 to 24 months and right now there is only one champ being built and no Exec courses. There is a lot more analysis such as percentage of snowbirds, percentage of the population that golfs and present versus future capacity.
