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...

If the developer really wanted to build the executive courses, I think he could have found a way.
Instead of building golf courses in this area, they built houses. If the developer built houses where volusia, escambia, and okeechobee are, there would be no room for a golf course.
How much more space would it have taken to turn Richmond or Mickylee into executives? Twice as much land?
If you gave me $500,000, I could find the space for 2 executive courses.
