Since we have purchased TV has acquired at least two more parcels of land. I don't know what they intend to do with them but since the executive courses, the recreation centers and many recreational programs are already maxed out, I hope it will not be used for housing.
People are getting very frustrated by getting "not accomodated" on golf courses, closed out of rec programs, or standing for an hour or so to get a spot in exercise programs. Last month my amenity fees earned me only two rounds of golf and nothing else. It seems like any extra housing--from this day forward-- should be backed up by the promise which was made to us when we built. Before homes are started, the swim pools, golf courses and rec centers will be built first. This is no longer happening.
Additionally, at least the last 4-5 Villages on top of 466A have been too large. In Buttonwood we have almost 1200 homes with one rec center the same size as the 500 home Villages have. We have pools the same size but we have to share the family pool and rec center with Pennecamp, which is also a very large Village. The idea that they are continuing to build is disconcerting to those us us that are already over crowded.  
Thanks for letting me vent. I always get crabby when I get Bronchitis and can't breathe. LOL |
Some interesting speculations on this thread, but of course, no one not named Morse knows for sure, and even they may not know. We are still snowbirds so are probably seen by some as "part of the problem". Last year , staying in Hemingway, we generally got our tee times for the executive courses by being pretty flexible on time and course. There is a lot of golf pressure that time of year (Feb, Mar), and I recall one day last March when an ambassador at Becall said that the day before EVERY TEE TIME in TV was filled, both executive and championship. The pressure seemed to be especially intense for the courses just north of 466A. Now that the development south of 466A has progressed vigorously, I am wondering what the tee time experience is likely to be this coming winter. Lots of new residents south of 466A and no new executive courses yet (we will return to Hemingway). Could be a lot more pickleball and off campus golf this year.
