I would like to see the golf courses be successful and would hate to see them turn into apartments or strip malls. I don't work for the villages or the local government, I just want to maintain the village lifestyle. Having golf courses surrounding me is part of that.
I totally agree. I play the Champs 2x/week, and executive typically once/week. I have the Priority Membership to facilitate tee times. I consider the ability to drive a golf cart from my house to a course and use my own cart on the course as part of the lifestyle that I found attractive to me.
I'm still happy with that.
