2 of the 3 pitch n putts are located in places where an executive would not fit. Would you be happier if they just added more homes there instead of adding a pitch n putt? Don't forget that the pitch n putts offload some of the demand for executives.

A lot of people say that there wasn’t room for executive courses on the NE side of the turnpike.
However, they have never explained how there was room for a championship course in the area. Instead of building Southern Oaks, they could have built 2 or 3 executives. From my experience, most people play executive courses and prefer to live closer to executive courses. If they had, they probably wouldn’t have the problem that they are having selling homes in Lake Denham or Dabney. Those homes would be a short ride from Sawgrass and two executive courses! |

If they hadn't built Southern Oaks, people would be complaining that there were STILL no championship courses south of 44. Plus, they wanted to put the pro shop in Sawgrass, and have the putting course there...

Some people likely don't realize that the 5 executives that are "south of 44" are nowhere near the villages that are "south of 44" AND East of Morse Ave (Hawkins, Citrus Grove, Lake Denham, etc), more like a 30-40 minute golf cart ride for most of those folks. So that area around Sawgrass has to be the most isolated area of TV when it comes to proximity to an executive course. |

That is correct. The only good news is that they are building courses in Eastport. This will help those in Hawkins, St. Catherine, Cason Hammock, Citrus Grove, and Newell. However, if you live in Chitty Chatty, Bradford, Lake Denham, or Dabney, you will still have a long ride to the Eastport courses.

Both Executive and Championship courses give the developer high priced "golf view" lots to sell. But the execs are maintained like public parks, while the championship courses are profit making private property. Like Southern Oaks in the beginning, I would not be surprised to see these new championship courses to have the highest greens fees in The Villages. Perhaps close to $100 per round in the high season? |

Agreed. The new Laurel Oak exec that is well underway will be 5 minutes over the Bexley Bridge. Belleaire, next to Eastport, another 5-7 minutes further. Another 10 minutes will get you to the new Beautyberry and Honeysuckle execs that are under development. True a little further from Chitty Chatty, but you can always go north and take advantage of those courses (oh way, 7 of them are closed at the moment....)

More executives would do an even better job of offloading the demand on the existing ones.
