Default Sufficient Golf Courses at Build Out

When I first moved here about four years ago, I thought that it was fairly easy to get a tee time, even around this time of year. No more, it seems like most of the courses, especially south of 466 fill up pretty quick and it is not even the prime season of January thru March.

Since the developer advertises that he builds the amenities first and then the houses, it is fair to assume that the current contingent of executive and championship courses are meant to serve the villages that are north of 466A. In addition to the houses that are still being built in Buttonwood, Pennecamp, St. James, etc. they are also building homes by the Waterfront Inn and along 466 near Palmer. As I drive along Buena Vista near the Polo fields, it seems like there is plenty of open space to build additional homes. After all there is no guarantee that the Polo fields area will not be turned into another village or two someday.

The question I have in my mind, will there be sufficient golf courses to satisfy the residents at build out? What do the other golfers out there think?
