I don't know if anyone has noticed or not, but one of our neighbors made an observation after the heavy rains we had a week or so ago. He said that it appears that all the golf courses are a bit lower than the houses. That gives water a place to go instead of flooding houses and we have tons of retention ponds that never seem to be full to catch all the run-off. That's not to say that we can't have flooding, but the developers seem to have had that in mind while doing the development.
