From another point of view: if you compare acreage, it looks like a P&P takes roughly 1/3 the area of An Exec

Maintenance cost is lower.

Throughput of golfers is faster.

P&P's keep golfers some would rather not see playing ahead of them off the other courses

Relative to the courses mentioned in the latest video, the P&P iappears to be something less than 5% of the land dedicated to golf.

There is a lot of land dedicated to golf South of the Turnpike.
