I live much further north than average. While I don’t care a great deal about what is being built, I do care very much about what’s not being built, which is enough of both Executive and Championship golf. The lack of adequate golf per capita (I’m not talking about pitch and putts and putting courses) in the newer areas is causing the northern courses to become more crowded than ever before. The results of that include increased difficulty getting good t times during busy season (especially the Executives) as well as the extra stress taking its toll on the courses conditions. That being said, I can think of at least three things that have been built in the newer areas that I like. We enjoy periodically visiting Edna’s for a bite and some live entertainment while sitting under the beautiful live oaks. We also periodically enjoy trailering our bicycles down south to ride on the pathways that don’t allow golf carts. But unequivocally, what I like the most is that the new high school finally has its own swimming pool so they no longer invade Laurel Manor and take up lots of valuable lap swimming time at the expense of amenity fee paying residents.
