Exactly, those cumulative premiums may be enough to finance the construction of the course.

Richmond is one example where an executive course absolutely would not fit in that small area. It probably is under half the size of most executive courses plus they were constrained on three sides on what could be built there (turnpike, golf cart bridge, Meggison). It was basically built as a buffer from the turnpike but it's well utilized and in a good location so I think it was a good decision.

Marsh View is 27.96 acres. Richmond is 32.96 acres. Mickylee is 45.7 acres. Lowlands is 48.09 acres Loblolly and Longleaf are a combined 90.93 acres or 45.465 acres each. Red Fox and Gray Fox are a combined 80.35 acres or 40.175 acres each. Turtle Mound and Sandhill are a combined 82.81 acres or 41.405 acres each. Yankee Clipper and Southern Star are a combined 85.95 acres or 42.975 acres each. Roosevelt and Truman are a combined 83.97 acres or 41.985 acres each. I agree that Marsh View and Richmond are too small for an executive course but Mickylee is larger than many of the existing executives. |

And like I said before, compare the length of the holes on MickeyLee, compared to most Exec courses. Much shorter. It's not all about square footage or acreage. It's about "usable land"... It's the same thing when you drive thru Marsh Bend, for example. There are very large tracts of "open space" that is just not suitable to build on...

If you compare to Lowlands, Loblolly or Longleaf, those courses essentially meander between homes and also have portions on the opposite sides of major streets so it's not a single contiguous chunk like Richmond and March View are. Comparing 45 acres for Loblolly/Longleaf to 32 acres at Richmond, that's 40% more land. That's significant. If Richmond P&P was 45 acres there wouldn't be much room left for the Village of Richmond there. |

Most of those other executives have some surrounding land that are not part of the actual course but many balls still end up there. |

On most executive courses, if you hit from the closest tees the distances are less than 100 yds. 80-90 yds. With a decent hit the ball will roll onto the green. P&Ps are a slightly longer walk (2.3-2.4 miles) than if you walk an executive. Executives allow golf carts so then basically very little walking involved. I speak from experience.

It's disappointing to see all the open tee times for pitch-n-putt Obviously it's not as popular as they expected it to be. A better choice would have been executive golf

Agree, yet another one is in the plans. Go figure?

Quit bashing the pitch and putt courses....they serve a very useful purpose and are actually very popular down here. Otherwise we'll end up clogging up the executives with our 40 yard iron shots. |
