However, it's always crowded when we are here in The Villages during Jan., Feb., and March. We have come to expect the crowds. Year round residents should enjoy having the amenities to themselves during the off season and appreciate that Snowbird $$ pay for those facilities too.
I think most of us appreciate our snowbird friends, and realize they do pay amenity fees all year round. But like you we get discouraged with the long lines for activities, lack of tee times, and so on. I'm not sure the infrastructure has caught up with the increase in population, which compounds the problem.
