A top tier, private club, will spend $90,000 to 100,000 PER HOLE for maintenance every year.

So let’s say The Villages spends HALF that, $50,000, on each of the 333 championship holes - that’s $16.6 million.
Who’s paying for that? Who will be the first to complain when a championship course is converted to condos, because they can’t afford the maintenance?
I guarantee, those private clubs, spending $100,000 do not have near the number of rounds on each hole, that are played here.
