I sent a mail to villages.com but wonder if there is a better way.

Yep developer is going to change plans, just to keep you happy. See if developer will sell you the next 3 projects, for golf courses, then you can build your own village of ———-. Or ask village of Stu if he has room for what you think should be built.

Pitch and putt is a walking course, some can’t walk the course, some, more walking than they do in a week, and others just unhappy that they can’t drive their cart to the green tees, then next to the green, walking as little as possible. Some just have a hard time adjusting to carrying only 3 clubs. Either way I would bet $10 developer is going to stick to what works for them.
