Yes - at all three south of 44.

I sent a mail to villages.com but wonder if there is a better way.

I like the pitch-n-putts - good short-game practice and 18 holes.

That said, three south of 44 is enough - need more executives closer to Sawgrass - can’t wait for Eastport!

You can't stop it so just relax, sit back and enjoy. Build them and they will come 😉

I know a number of golfers that play the executive courses because they cannot walk the pitch and putt courses. It would be nice to built a pitch and putt course with golf cart paths or an executive course (with cart paths) with only two sets of tees with the longest hole no more than 125-130 yards. Call it a “starter course”or whatever. It’s not “rocket science”. A starter course would take considerable less land and designed for golfers just starting to play or for one wanting to sharpen their short game. Almost everyone happy?

I for one am glad the inmates are not running this place. Imagine the endless posting to decide what flowers to put where.

El Santiago - level 1 - big cups

I don’t think Marshview has car parking.

Yes, you’re right. My mistake. I guess I was thinking about the Fenney putt ‘n play.

There is ample parking for cars

Now that is a valid point I hadn't thought about!

So wrong! Pitch and Putt- 1. You tee off a cushioned pad. 2. The play is completely off from an executive course 3. If there are sand traps, they are minimal 4. Greens are flat 5. There are no par 4s …

You are looking at the argument incorrectly.......the developer earns more from the land if he can sell a house that overlooks that land. A pitch & putt does not allow that, where an executive has many homes with premium lots around them.

Regarding Brownwood theater- the movie industry in Hollywood is the culprit. Unfortunately many movie theater corporations are suffering and/or going out of business. Regal is one of them…nationally
