If they had, they probably wouldn’t have the problem that they are having selling homes in Lake Denham or Dabney. Those homes would be a short ride from Sawgrass and two executive courses!
Considering there were exactly ZERO Championship courses south of 44, Southern Oaks made perfect sense (there were already 5 executive courses south of 44).

If they hadn't built Southern Oaks, people would be complaining that there were STILL no championship courses south of 44. Plus, they wanted to put the pro shop in Sawgrass, and have the putting course there...
