Does anyone know if there are plans for new championship and/or executive golf courses in the new additional Fruitland Park section?

I believe I read that there would be 2 or 3 executive courses. I don't think there will be a championship course

Map looks like 2 Executive - No Championship

The three execs were planned before the FP purchase. i.e. they were being built regardless of FP purchase. Nothing new except homes and rec centers in the FP new section.

actually there was only 1 more planned over by sarasota practice fac. but they added 2 more after fruitland park purchase.

There have been three execs planned in the vicinity of the Sarasota range for years. They are Sarasota (the practice area currently in use will be the second green of this course), Volusia, and Escambia. They are scheduled to open this year, late fall. The Fruitland Park addition had nothing to do with it.

A new Championship course is being built at the southern most part of Morse. I am not certain how close it will be to the Fruitland Park area. But 3 Champion courses with 27 holes each will certainly be nice for Villagers south of 466A.

Apologies a few typos now corrected.

Do you mean 27 holes?

A lot more houses coming and it doesn't appear that there will be any more executive courses in the yet to be developed portion from Hillsbotough Trail to the South. Slide over Pinellas/Collier. Here we come.

New Championship is called Belle Mede. Three Ex courses also will be built, not counting what happens in F.P.

I have a 2013 Villages map that show 3 executive courses near the Sarasota Driving Range. Where did you look that it "doesn't appear that there will be any more"?

'South' of Hillsborough Trail. It may be that much of that area can't be developed though. No idea how may homes will be built in that new area. Just hoping that one of them will be ours.

its really a shame they have to take away the Sarasota practice area. Many villagers use it. There are already too few areas to practice. Too bad.
