LOL. I do understand that. It's just that this is a community of around 100-120K with the equivalent of sixteen 18 hole golf courses. (I considered two 27 hole courses as the equivalent of three 18 hole courses.) I can't believe there is another place of similar population with that many courses within its boundaries. And that's not even considering the executive courses. If you ask someone if sixteen courses are enough for a general population of 100-120K, they would think about half that would be fine. The difference is that we are able to play every day, if desired, whereas areas with a smaller retiree population don't have the everyday volume.

Please understand I am not trying to minimize your concerns. It just seems hard to consider this place has too few golf courses.
