I have a club meeting at a particular rec center once a month, and never have to show my ID card, but technically, you need to be a Villages resident.
Have been Id every time at sport pools scheduled events. I think they random check Id's at combo/swim times, pickleball open, beginner, and advanced beginner. You are asked to leave it you don't have ID. IMO Very Random too non existent. Chula Lady take her job seriously and checks quit often IMO (she does good job) at least at beginner, and advance beginner times while I learning the game. I been Id'ed few time there and sparely at Saddlebrook. Mulberry, playing pickleball. Never on the tennis hard courts. Probably be less now that snowbird season dwindling down.

I also checked out few other retirement communities. None compared to Villages IMO for what I wanted out of Retirement Community. I am happy little Frog even though it don't sound like it some times?
