How large was the community you came from? I will assume you live here now??? Golf is more attractive to many than a gym facility/facilities might be, I imagine. One probably can play golf for more years than they might be able to use an exercise facility. Golf does offer exercise...one doesn't have to use a golf cart, many do walk the courses. The golf courses around here allow more residents to "play" than gyms. The community can't provide everything for it's residents. There are many other exercise opportunities available around here and in the surrounding communities, but a gym at no charge is not one of them. Does it cost less to build and maintain a gym than building golf courses? I don't think we really know.
