I know the answer, the exec golf courses would become so expensive that few would pay to use them and they would be ripe for Apartments, Villas and commercial development.

For softball you'd need to differentiate between players and watchers. Pools have multiple uses. different costs for lap swimming (single swimmer taking up 1/6 of the pool) water volleyball (up to 84 people). i have an idea: tattoo a bar code one every Villagers forehead and use drones to monitor every sport. Oh, wait. what if I sign in to play pool but really go to play bridge? I think i need an aspirin.
Quietpine, any further thoughts?
