Looks like 2 near the sarasota driving range, 1done at evans prarie with 1 to follow, and either 2 or 3 at the next championship area. This all spread over 2 to 3 years.

Can't be soon enough - tee times are already hard to come by when checking the open tee time system unless you want to play really late in the day.

I was told by a Villages salesperson that there would ultimately (whatever that means) be six execs south of 466a

Here's the problem when I do the math. Right now we have 29 executive courses. With the expansion south of 466a we are growing from about 88,000 residents to about 115,000 residents which is an increase of 33%. That means we should be adding 9 to 10 executive courses. But just when I start to worry about silly stuff like this, I figure the Morse's know how to do this a lot better than I do, so I'm just going to let them handle it. I'm sure they are very grateful for my lack of interference.

The Morses also said they would top out at 110000 people but now they have purchased mor space in at least two places. I hope those place will include more executives.

Yes but all the new residents are still paying their $145.
for free golf which is less available since there are more residents.
But the new country clubs are open so we can pay more money for golf.
Easy to figure out we are getting the short end of the stick.

So, how much of the $145 is going to executive golf? Have you been denied a tee time? How many times??

How can you find out how the amenity fee is spent? The Developer purchased 300plus acres just east of Brownwood. I am not aware of a recent second purchase.
