It seems more money spent on the Exec courses may be the answer.
Either a fee to play, or an increase in amenities.
Are you willing to pay a fee to golf the Executive courses?
Yes. If that is what would help. All the "but we were promised free golf" complainers are correct. But the agreement never said "with nice greens and fairways" So if you are going to make the developer stick to the letter of the agreement don't complain. Your golf is still free.

There were nearly 2 million rounds of executive golf played in 2011

So if the charge were a single dollar a round, that would be a lot of money and I don't see how it would break anyone's budget.

Something needs to be done and you can be sure it can't be done for free so the money is going to come from some source which ultimately means us. I'd prefer that the golfers, which includes me, pick up most of the cost rather than spreading it to everyone.
