I happen to agree with you and the price goes up on a continuum and even more costly since residents provide their own carts. The Villages believes it has a captive group sufficient to make money However, you are wasting ink and your time discussing it here.
First I have lived here for going on 11 years and many golfers I know have been leaving campus to play outside TV timed to when the fee schedule changes every year before and since I arrived ( its called elasticity).
Secondly, its subjective (ie a matter of preference/opinion) when it comes to eateries, golf courses, gas v electric carts,etc....you get the picture
Third, you have two tribes here in TV. Those dedicated to pray at the altar of the Developer in all things and a tribe that will not. and so you will never get an objective consensus
I walked a course with a guy who has lived here some 6 years and unsolicited he said that TV is so overcrowded that its not fun anymore . TV is overcrowded and so certainly TV is right in that they have a captive group large enough to make demands
