REH.... it's public information. Exec golf course maintenance is funded by a portion of the amenity fees, the trail fees, guest fees. I've not yet come across a detailed budget from the central CDDs (who manage the amenities) that shows how much is spent on overseeding, funds for Pelican vs Amberwood, etc but there are budget statements that show sources of revenue and broad expense categories.
As has often been stated on this forum, "free for life" is not totally free. Something has to pay for the courses and their maintenance and operation. "Free" yes in that you don't have to pay a fee for each round you play if you walk and you are a resident. In my mind, it's quite a bargain.
