You have plenty of room - Chitty Chatty, Bradford, Hawkins, Cason Hammock, St Johns, Richmond, St Catherine’s, Citrus Grove, Newell, Lake Denham, and Dabney.
They had room for two Pitch & Putts and two Putting Greens - but no executive courses.

No, no, no, no, and no...
Chitty Chatty and Bradford are very narrow. The topography there is not conducive to adding a golf course. If you put one in St Cathrines, it would take up most of the are for houses. AND, it would be right across the street from Southern Oaks. Same with Hawkins and Cason Hammock
St Johns is a narrow strip of land... Same with NewellLake Denham and Dabney...
The only possibility would have been Richmond, but they are already close to the other exec courses and it's divided by wetlands into two parts.
Much of the area south of 44 and east of the turnpike has those same wetlands to deal with.
As I've stated before, if you look at a map of TV, you'll see the land mass north of 44 it much different than the area south of 44 and east of the turnpike.
The new areas that they are developing NOW is a HUGE swath of land on the west side of the turnpike. THAT is where they are putting all of the new courses. It's simple logistics.
I live west of Morse and south of Hillsborough. There is not a single exec course in the area defined by Morse to Buena Vista, Hillsborough to 44... Why is that? It's a huge expanse of land. It's because of the massive preserve and Lake Deaton. Just like the massive preserve bordering everything south of 44 and east of Morse...
If you watch Don Wiley's latest video, he explains this quite simply...
