In the article by Ken Ezell mentioned above (link below) it is stated that 47 is correct. Here is how it breaks down.

At completion there will be 35 - 9 hole Executive courses and 12 Championship layouts. Of the 12 Championship layouts 10 will have 27 holes. There will be a total of 621 holes at completion. Mr. Ezell refers to The Villages as the worlds largest golf community.

Currently we have 28 Executive Courses plus 1 more scheduled to open this spring for 29. We currently have 9 Championship layouts. These are all located North of 466A. That leaves 6 Executive courses and 3 Chamionship courses to be built South of 466A.

He also states that at completion The Villages will have 2.5 million rounds of play yearly. They count 9 holes as a round of golf since each 9 holes carry a seperate name.
