Did something happen in March 2020 that may have caused a change in the construction timeline, you maybe created uncertainty around home purchases and the economy?

If you have a dog, don’t bring him/her, not allowed : (

It appears that the 2 Executive golf area's indicated to the South on the map have 2 9 hole courses each. So, that would be 5 Executive courses total on the way.

I think at least one of the championship courses is 27 holes. That may be where the confusion lies...

Actually, I forgot the Executive course planned adjacent to Eastport which adds up to 6 new Executive course proposed. This is verified in link provided by John Mayes in post #46.

From the link;

"Plans include three championship courses, six executive courses, a pitch and putt, a teaching academy and a driving range."

Curious about the two “roundabouts to nowhere” on the Buena vista expansion at 44. Any clue based on what appears to be private property adjoining? Also, there is prep work being done immediately south of Marsh Bend Trail near Monarch Grove entrance…it’s adjoins the area that has the entertainment stage amidst the pasture.

The roundabouts will eventually feed the commercial properties east of the BV Extension, that property is all owned by, wait for it, the developer of The Villages.

The property south of McClure along MBT is another residential development not associated with The Villages.

It's relatively high end non-Villages residential housing. Should be attractive to ther younger professions working in the area.
