Are any new Championship or Executive courses currently under construction?
 
The only new courses that I've noticed are "Pitch & Putt".

Thanks.

I don’t know the names, but I think at least 4 championship and 3 executive are in various stages. At least 2 executive will open this spring.

The Villages has made several publications showing their plans, including the new golf courses. If you go to one of the Sales Centers maybe they can give you a copy of their publications.

Take a drive down Marsh Bend Trail and 470. They are digging in the planned course areas as far as the eye can see.

Why so many Championships as compared to Executives? Ratio wise there was 3 Executive courses installed for every Championship. Below the Turnpike they are putting in 5 Championships to 3 Executives? Southern Oaks is hardly utilized, what a waste having 5 Championships be less than 4 miles from the Bexly Bridge

That doesn't look like "5" courses, it looks like 2-3.

Of course, if they're anything like Southern Oaks it won't matter much, no one will want to play them.

What are the names of the courses and where are they located?

I want to drive by and check out the progress.

I think they make more money on the championship courses than the executive courses.

Southern Star/Yankee Clipper started it's life as an 18 hole course.

You have to realize, there are already 6 executive courses operating south of the turnpike.

Did they rebuild the entire course? Southern Star only has one par four and Yankee Clipper only has two par fours. What did they do with the par fives? If you took a championship course and turned it into an executive, you would have enough land for three executive courses.

Thanks.

Three new championship courses, (two 18’s and one 27), six executives, one additional pitch and putt and a golf academy.

Not sure where you got your facts from but SO’s is in the middle of the pack of the 13 Championship Courses for number of rounds played in 2022.
