My source of information is the tee time reservation system. Simply try booking a tee time for 2 people two days out or for the next day. You will see that the vast majority if not only open tee times between 9:00 and 4:00 are on pitch and putt courses. The same was true last winter when we only had Marsh Bend. It was always the last course with open time slots.
Of course there is value in pitch and putt courses. I played Marsh Bend last year and enjoyed it. However prefer playing longer holes with grass tee boxes. And based on the reservation system the majority of other golfers within the villages feel the same way.
The last two executive courses built by T&V have been pitch and putt. If you want to see the trend continue then fine. Personally though I have sent a note to the villages.com and asked them to stop building new pitch and putt based on the information I shared above.
