Back in the late 90's when we were thinking of buying a home in The Villages we visited the historic side often. It was so well maintained and the folks were friendly, we purchased our home here. I love OBH, not easy but fun to play.

I live in Silver Lake and sometimes like to refer to it as the hysterical side.

Your question is properly answered by many before me as we are new here ourselves. In the next week hopefully it will be named the Hysterical Section because we intend to laugh as much and often as possible. We have met many potential new neighbors who are just wonderful and friendly. If anyone has a bad thought about where we have chosen to live let them speak their mind freely, their opinion is truly none of my business. We have been $Prisoner's$ to several houses in the last twenty years. Not anymore...We're Historical/Hysterical!

Areas often have nicknames. Is it really any more complicated than that?

We have friends that have a lovely home on a lakefront lot in Historical. It's a very friendly part of The Villages.

You are entitled to your opinion.

Just because you supposedly have NEVER heard it, in no way means it isn't true. And if there's any question as to how I personally feel about it, refer back to my post where I think those who say it are sorry azz snobs. |

For clarification, let me add that I did not mean to imply that ALL who use the term 'Historical Side' are those who are snobs.
Just that SOME who say it, sometimes compare it to large trailer parks with their own golf course. |

All one has to do is to compare OBH with other courses, from the same set of tees (at least from the blue or gold, of which I'm most familiar with) to realize my statement was accurate. I do not recall any championship 18 being rated easier, but it is possible I recall incorrectly. If I have, please post a link to an 18 hole combination that has a lower course or slope rating and I will happily acknowledge as much. And if it really matters to y'all, my index is single digit which isn't that big of a deal as a number of guys I regularly play with have a lower index than myself. If that bothers you, I don't see how there's much I can do about it. Last edited by ColdNoMore; 06-28-2016 at 01:36 AM. |

I guess not everyone is interested in the history of our little community, but I am so I did my best to explain it to her.

It's the best walking path, shady, benches to sit and watch the water fowl.

I have been coming to the Villages since 1994, we rented for years until we bought our 1st house in 2011, and bought another house in 2014. We have experienced the Villages history 1st hand, saw it start with single / double wide house trailers, then modular homes ,then some stick built homes, all of them beautiful. As most are aware the developer and others are starting to replace some of those 1st homes with new stick built houses, that is the Villages history and thus the “historical side”. We live in Mallory now and love to go over to the historical side, very nice people and a beautiful area overall
Since we are sharing our opinions, I’ll share mine, no disrespect is intended. I have heard the term “historical side” countless times and never ever once thought of it as “code” for anything. I think sometimes in today’s culture we tend to overthink some things. I went to a MLB baseball game recently and the Yankees were playing. A-Rod “adjusted” himself multiple times as athletes are known to do. The young women in the seats in front of me said it was code, indicating he was available tonight …..

Those are the exact type people I'm talking about, who are snobs but have no idea how this great place got started. Obviously Booger Shooter wasn't here when you addressed her snobbiness and missed your post. |
