I have no idea where in The Villages you will find an area where your Golden can safely run off leash,
without encountering other residents or their dogs or even gators.
One place you are NOT permitted to walk your dog is on a golf course after it's closed for the night.

I agree with this. Further, I would never let my golden off leash on trails in parks, or anywhere near water or construction sites or woods. Wild boar are in this area and could easily kill hi., And who knows what other kinds of things he could get into in the woods. Not to mention fleas, ticks, and other biting insects that are more prevalent in those spaces than they are in cleared dog park fields.
If OP's golden is anything like the two we've had, it most likely looooooooves to get into wild "stuff" and chase after small animals. It's just not safe, and having a good recall training on your dog may not work when their choice is coming back to you or going after, say, a bunny rabbit.
