The area between 44 and the turnpike is plenty wide for golf courses. It was clearly wide enough to build a championship course there.
They just didn’t put them in. The houses along the turnpike are too close to the turnpike. They could have put several executive courses right next to the turnpike as a buffer from 44 down to 470. Or they could have built executive courses instead of Richmond P&P and Mickylee P&P. An 18 hole P&P takes up almost as much space as a 9 hole executive if not more.
