Default Executive golf access

As it gets more and more difficult to get tee times on the Executive courses it made me think. Between 466 and 44, if my numbers are correct, there are 22 Executive courses. In the area south of 44 there are currently 5, with 4 more in some stage of development. That is 9 courses in the newer areas serving a population that is approaching, and eventually likely exceeding, the population of the areas between 466 and 44. Do the developers believe that the newer residents are less golf oriented, or do they simply want to retain more land for residential use? Did Harold overbuild Executive golf, or does the current generation have a different planning model? Of course, no matter what the reason, we have no control over the situation, but it does seem that the model has changed. Just curious!
