Appreciate the response. I need to find out how this fact escaped me.????????? If it is true then why do the golf pros at ech course have administrative responsibility for the executive courses in and around the host championship course?

Why then are there not golfing fees applying? Executive courses collect money from people who have not paid trail fees, rent hand golf carts and guests pay hefty fees. Where does that money go? Who is in charge of those fees? And how is it spent?............................................ ..........................

Wow this opens up a whole lot of discussion, if true

Please re-read my post. The post indicates the course is owned through the central district. Funds (from amenity fees collected by the VCCDD) for the executive courses above 466 are administered by the AAC, whose members are residents. Golf Administration handles the contracting for maintenance, not the developer.

Good question, BUT I leave those questions and answers to the golf course professionals. They know what they are doing, we for the most part only think we do.

Based on the regular fair to poor conditions of Courses in the Villages, I would suggest that your comment is subject to conjecture. Some of them don't even know the rules of golf.

The golf pros work for GMS who run the courses NOT own them.
