Could it happen here in The Villages? Not in the short run but perhaps in the future as TV's population ages and we have fewer golfers.

It is possible, but highly unlikely. As the older population dies off, moves away or goes into assisted living, there are always going to be enough 55+ people to take their place and continue to support the courses we have. Our "new" home backs up to Southern Star and with me a dinged wing and not able to play, I spend a lot of time on the lanai watching golfers; from the time the 1st group rolls by on the 4th hole, there is a steady stream of foursomes the rest of the day.
