The “problem” is they are increasing the number of golfers! :-) I suspect that was exactly what the developers had in mind when they did the planning for the new areas down south… my cohort was NOT playing golf. Pitch & Putt makes the barrier to entry lower for people like me.

Personally, I’m looking forward to the new Live Oak Pitch & Putt coming on line later this year and I hope they decide to build a few more down south in the years ahead.

Build, build, build!
I was not a golfer till I moved here myself. I'm sure if groups of 12 can't get tee times i bet groups of 16 and larger neighborhood groups are getting knocked out of golf each year with the shortage of golf courses.
