Tee times are getting very difficult to obtain on executive courses during the snowbird season. My group was shut out for Friday even though we put in a 6 hour window and 16 different courses. Most had points in the 0-2 range. When you figure that they are adding approximately two thousand new golfers per year (assuming one golfer per household and 6 houses per day being sold) and no new courses added for some time, it is no wonder that tee times are becoming very scarce this time of year. They have opened 18 holes on Bonifay with 9 more to follow soon and then another 27-hole championship course is already under construction. Yet, to my knowledge, they haven't even announced plans to start any new executive courses.

I wonder if the fact that the new executive courses likely to be added next (in the Sarasota area) do not have any houses bordering them and hence can't be used as a means to sell premium priced lots has anything to do with them seeming to be a low priority.
