Morse et al building houses to meet a retirement lifestyle "selling the dream" golf carts and free golf for retirees vs selling as many homes as possible and throwing in token lifestyle ammenities under the guides of people can share the "selling the dream" free ammenities of the past freeing up third generaton developers (or more) to instead build 5 championship courses for the public to use. |

I can’t many imagine outside people come to play championship in TV, the rates alone are outrageous, for non resident. The main concern is instead of building more existing execs, the pitch and puts are being built.

Numbers don’t lie.
Great job of pulling together data on growth of The Villages. As Asianthree pointed out, COVID greatly affected the complexity of building homes. But they did build and they did sell. Golf courses. We all know that the Morse family are long term planners. They buy land decades ahead. I’ve never heard the timeline on planning a Village. I would guess they’d have to start at least 3 years ahead. So the 2020-2022 land useage was planned 2017-2019. COVID had no effect at all on their decision making on golf courses. I’ve lived here since ‘09. When I look at this data, what jumps out at me is Gary Morse. I believe the greatest growth of golf courses occurred when he was at the helm. It would be interesting to take this same chart and layer in “Who’s the Boss?” Harold, Gary, or the third generation ? |

Love The Villages
They do need to do a better job and keep up with the home growth compared to golf holes finished and not pitch and putts !!

And I also didn't count the four putting courses - Fenney, Clifton Cove, First Responders and Jubilee Putting courses. That would be another 72 holes!

More TOTV threads definitely won’t make it any easier to get a t-time. On the other hand, more golf courses certainly wouldn’t hurt.

Somebody must, they are actually including pitch and puts in the weekly hole in one’s published in the Daily Sun sports section. Talk about discrediting the accomplishment, next thing ya know they will be including hole on one’s at the putting courses.

I suspect there is some play from people who have been denied their tee time request. I play the pitch and putts when this happens, which is fairly often this time of year.

Not really, more golf courses would increase the number of threads complaining about the executive course conditions.
