The Villages also has plenty of breakfast restaurants, but you only can get a reservation at 5PM.

The growth re-started in 2016/2017, pre COVID - 6 or 7 years ago, have we seen a pivot? (EDIT, fixed the typo)
I think the pitch and puts are a good thing. There are a lot of new championship and executive holes coming on line in the next year or two.

I get the business purpose of not opening courses until the population can support them financially (green fees for championships and amenity fees for executives). .
