But now we will suffer through multiple course closures. I guess it will be worth it though. Hopefully they will build more courses in the south more quickly too!

In the old days The Villages would build the golf courses, pro shops, restaurants, etc. first, THEN build the houses. I remember playing Mallory Hill when there was not one house built on it yet. Now they build the houses first and the golf courses, et al, later. That drives the new residents to the existing courses which get overbooked and experience excess wear and tear.
