The golf rate guide says that for winter/spring, 9 hole is after 1.30pm. But, I have had pro shops tell me that I cannot play 9 until after 2pm and when I spoke to Bonifay staff was told I could only start a 9 hole round between 1.30 and 2pm.
Also, I am told various responses concerning unlimited play should I decide that I want s few extra holes. The guide clearly says ulimitted play after 9 holes after 1.30pm 'subject to availability'. At some courses I am told that yes I can play on at the turn if there is space. At a couple of courses, I am told in uncertainty that there is no unlimited play.
Don't get me wrong I am not trying to get out if playing and paying for a full 18 holes, as a full 18 mostly is what I do. But occasionally and usually due to weather I do not get to start until the afternoon and cannot see paying for 18 holes when time only allows me 12 or so holes. And the guide does say I can play on with a tee time after 1.30pm subject to availability.
I was recently told that I could not play 9 holes after 2pm on Evans Prairie except on the Egret and I would have to pay the 18 hole rate for Killdeer/Osprey after 2pm. Perhaps, The Villages Golf need to re-camp the guide to reflect the individual rules, other than what is in the rates guide that each course is using .

Hopefully this will clear up everyone's lack of understanding and answer questions concerning the January only 9-hole golf availability. If not call the Tee Time Office.
For at least the past month every Thursday in The Daily Sun, Section B SPORTS, inside page under "GOLF" it has stated, "INTERESTED IN PLAYING 9-HOLES ANY TIME OF THE DAY EVERY DAY ON A CHAMPIONSHIP COURSE IN JANUARY? We are excited to announce that Egret at Evans Prairie and Torri Pines at Lopez Legacy will be offering 9-hole tee times from 7:28am through 4:00pm every day in January. These 9-hole tee times can
only be scheduled by calling the Tee Time Office at 750-4558 up to 7 days in advance for Priority Members and 5 days in advance for Resident Members or by calling the specific golf shop on the day of play, and are
not available through the tee time system. (9 hole play is not available on the other courses at Lopez and Evans Prairie) For additional information or to contact the golf shops, please call Evans Prairie at 205-8910 or Lopez Legacy at 753-1450......"
