They can run courses cheaper than most clubs can run their own and they're making money on the arbitrage.

Similar to the business model I suggest for The Villages, instead of sub-contracting the work, individually.
Agree, but comparing Troon and CCA courses(one of which is/was Pinehurst) to TV is like comparing apples to oranges. TV will never come close to a Troon course like some in the Scottsdale Az area,
