Sawgrass Grove...mini version of a town square?
 
Just watched all 3 videos talking about the new championship course and Sawgrass Grove. If you watch the design video, they go into detail about the theme and what will be there. The new country club will have a Scottish pub theme, there will be a new pitch and putt, a large regional rec center, a large covered farmer's market, and a bandstand with what looks like the type of bars at the other town centers. We are excited...our location in Monarch Grove appears to be less than a 10 minute cart ride! At no point do they use the term "town" or "square", so we are calling it a "social center". We're excited to be 10 mins away from seeing live music!

According to the map, I doubt there will be enough room for a pitch and putt. Maybe a putt and play.

In Kenny Ezell's video, he mentions a "putting course", but in Tracy Morse's Sawgrass design video, she says "we named the putting...the pitch and putt after George Clifton" which is Kenny's assistant. Wonder who is right?

Just as easy to wait until it’s done than to guess

The drawing appears to be a putting course.

More fun to speculate and talk it to death:popcorn:

No pitch and putt, putting only. No new executive courses and only one 18 hole Championship course. Very disappointing, how many rooftops can be squeezed in?

We are all so excited for you! As you are gathered around 20,000 of your closest friends, I know you will be excited too!

Poor excuse for a town square!

At the rate they are going, you might see that in about 2030.

It is known that upcoming retirees aren't as interested in golf as the older folk born in the 30's and 40's

I was told about a year ago that the "town square" which will be built south of 44 will not be anything like the three town squares north of 44. The person who told me this information works for the builder.

Is Sawgrass Grove actually being called a "town square"? I wonder if this is what I was told about a year ago.

I just looked at the videos on YouTube about Sawgrass Grove. This area is called Recreation, Market and Restaurant. I don't this this is considered a town square.

Tracy is right. Kenny's last name don't end in Morse.
