Since 2017 there have been over 13,000 new homes sold. If you buy in St. Catherine those above mentioned courses are the only close executive courses available. Unless you want to do the 1 hour golf cart ride to the "north" side. It may be time to remind the sales people that you really can't sell them as a golf community if you can never get a tee time close to your new home! They built a championship course down this way, but I pay $165 per month to play executive courses for "free". Done with the rant just a heads up!

People complain there are less courses south but that is not an accurate statement. I have posted the math before and South of 44 has some of the lowest homesites per executive course until all of district 13 is built out and there are many homes still to be built. When the northern part of District 13 is complete, they will be between marsh bend and Brownwood area so they would play either ones. Even then we are in the same ballpark as the others. Here are the 4 areas with updated site counts, N of 466 has 1690 homesites per exec course(21,975 homesites,13 courses), S of 466 1440(23054 sites, 16 courses), S of 466A 2014(14103 sites, 7 courses) and S of 44 1976 (11858 sites, 6 courses). Reminder that In S of 44, District 13 has 5658 homesites that are not near fully built so that number is inclusive of all the open areas coming this year. Also for those that don't want to drive their carts that far, it is why the southern courses all have cart rentals where you don't have that in other areas. Not getting a tee time for a single or even a couple should not be a problem.
