I know what the problem is. It's those dang-blasted interlopers from Wildwood trespassing on their golf carts. That's what is holding everything back.

I am in DeSoto and no issues with the pace of development. We were told there would be championship course built but no date for completion. The car ride to the courses north of 44 are pretty short and I have had no issue getting tee times for executive or championship courses. Publix is 10 minutes away and WalMart is less than 30 minutes in Leesburg. I kind of dread all the commercial growth because that will mean more people and more traffic. Right now it is very easy to get around compared to where I moved from. I love it here but I could see why people want to be where everything is already completed. On the cost of homes, we found we got more bang for our buck down south.

I heard they were taking a page from the Walgreen's play book and were going to to put one on every corner down there.

I'm done having to "commute" to a shopping area. I drove 25 minutes in NJ at 70 mph on the Garden State Parkway to get there. I'm not doing that anymore. Love my location which is close to shopping and I don't have to plan my shopping around a commute.

As other people have said, all in due time will the big retail stores come south of 44. I prefer not to have to wait for them. They were all in place nice and close before we moved to The Villages.

I have heard that but then others have said it is rumors. To think.... I was 7 minutes away from a Costco in NJ.

Another year or so before we see a grocery store brings that to 3 years .And who knows when a "square " will be done.
Most championship courses have an abundance of tee times available (singles and twosomes); just the opposite for the execs - very few tee times. It seems a lot of people prefer free golf over priority memberships and green fees; that's why you seeing an abundance of execs being built.

The reason as to why you shouldn't raise a concern is that you are the one that chose to move down to McClure. Now you raise the concern that there is not a championship golf course being built to your schedule. Maybe you should have waited if it is that important.

Your concern reminds me of the folks back home who move into the new condos in the 'hip' part of town that happen to be next to the train tracks. They then sue the railroad and city because the trains come through at night.

Never said to my schedule.Just basing my concerns based on the past..Since I've been here almost 10 years I've never seen them take 4 years to build a Championship course in an area that needs one or two. Yes I chose to move down here and I don't regret it at all . I have absolutely no problem getting in my car to play golf North of 44 ... please don't tell me I "SHOULDN'T " raise a concern if I have one.
