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.
Pretend the Turnpike isn't there.

McNeil will be the main 4 lane thoroughfare south starting at Sawgrass, similar to Morse/Buena Vista.

Megason becomes a two lane 25 mph neighborhood connection south of Sawgrass.

So it makes more sense to develop the courses on the same side of the Turnpike as NcNeil, with all the other development.
