That is true only if you count the "pitch and putt" courses.

GolfTheVillages calls them Executive courses! So there are currently 99 executive holes of golf south of 44 and 63 between 466A and 44.
And with the 72 championship holes and addition 36 executive holes that have been announced for west of the turnpike, I'd say we're in pretty good shape down here. |

There are 36 Executives (not pitch and putt courses) north of 44. 20 of them are within a 20 minute golf cart ride of my house. 6 of the Championship courses are also within a 20 minute golf cart ride of my house. I do play the 5 Executive courses (not pitch and putt courses) south of 44 but they are always at the bottom of my tee time request list. In the time it takes to get to Gray Fox and Red Fox south of 44, I can get to another 12 Executive courses north of 44. The remaining 4 Executives north of 44 are far enough away that I would typically drive my car to them instead of taking the golf cart. In summary, I can conveniently get to 32 Executive courses north of 44 and 5 Executive courses south of 44. Contrary to what you suggested in your earlier post, I have convenient access to much more golf north of 44 than south of 44 and it will remain that way for the foreseeable future. Also, you can try to call the 3 pitch and putt courses south of 44 "executives" but I believe anyone with a modicum of skill wouldn't. I suspect a lot of the play on the pitch and putt "courses" is from people who have had their tee time request denied and practicing 50 yard shots is better than nothing.

And you forgot to mention the fifth executive on the west side of the turnpike - the new 18 hole pitch and putt. Once these are built, it should ease the demand for golf north of 44. However, if you live in Lake Denham or Dabney, it will be a long ways by golf cart to these courses. Hopefully they will build some executives east of the turnpike and south of 470 for people living there. And we aren’t in good shape until the new courses are built and open. |

Build More?
Heck, are they even permitted to water the courses they have now?
