As things now stand, the Villages has not opened an executive (with the exception of two Pitch & Putts) since 2019 which is a five year gap. The fewest courses built in a five year period was three courses - and the most that were built in any five year period was thirteen courses. I am aware that more courses are being built near Eastport but that doesn't explain the five year gap.

Would be interesting to add to these numbers which generation of developers had them built.
Morse et al building houses to meet a retirement lifestyle "selling the dream" golf carts and free golf for retirees
vs
selling as many homes as possible and throwing in token lifestyle ammenities under the guides of people can share the "selling the dream" free ammenities of the past freeing up third generaton developers (or more) to instead build 5 championship courses for the public to use.
