The Championship Golf operation in The Villages grosses north of $75,000,000/year and probably south of $100,000,000.
As Golfing Eagles pointed out, the cost to "maintain the grass" is approximately $650,000/year/9 holes (between $500K - $800K, depending on the quality).
If I had to estimate based on industry averages (leaving out the restaurants), the cost to run The Villages golf operation is approximately $1M - $1.3M per 9 holes (includes all staffing, utilities, insurance, etc.)
The golf course business is cash monster.

Politely dis agree. If golf is a cash monster why have so many courses/clubs gone out of business? Covid was the best thing to happen for golf. Hard to extrapolate how much cash will be brought in/go out due to factors like weather, bug infestations, funguses/molds that can occur. Labor, chemicals and fuel are always going up. All courses do need to completely re sodded no matter how good it is maintained.
