Also, there were 5 courses opened within the span of about a year back in 2010(?) .... Yankee, So Star, Tarpon, Redfish, and Bonita Pass. Once those were all open I didn't hear many complaints about getting bumped. Another way to look at it is they were ahead of the plan then and now the population has caught up and exceeded capacity. I do agree that building and launching execs south of 466a seems to have lagged.
