Well, just got back from a 6 night lifestyle visit and I now understand why so many folks buy homes in the Villages. We stayed in the homes behind the Sales Center in Lake Sumter Landing and according to our sales associate it was the very house that Arnold Palmer stayed in on his last visit. What a place, right on the lake, gas fire place, 1 1/2 car garage with complimentary new golf cart. They even filled the golf cart up with gas. The steak and lobster at the Cattlebarons was excellent and all of the complimentary meals included gratuity. I was overwhelmed by the lifestyle package. I didn't bring my sticks but the two free rounds of golf would have been great. Did get a discount at the Palmer Course pro shop. Their key lime pie was sinful!! I don't know if I will ever move to the Villages, given the current real estate and economic environment, however it wasn't because the Villages didn't present a first class operation. You residents are lucky to live in such a wonderful place to live--CE
