They are still building and it will soon be as large as The Villages. There was no mention of adding additional golf courses to accommodate their growing population. There are no executive golf courses. If you buy a home that includes exterior maintenance (which I would love), the monthly amenity fee is about $350. I wish they would build condos here.
