I will agree that the look of grass is a thing of beauty, when properly maintained.
However with the problem of water shortages due to climate change restrictions and anything else,
the use of artificial turf should be a choice a homeowner should be able to make.
Alas -- we cannot because of the "rules" The Villages has imposed upon us.
When done properly, I defy anyone to tell the difference in the look of turf compared to grass.
Yes, it is expensive to install but over time, pays for itself.
Installing artificial turf should be the choice of every homeowner, not a stupid edict set upon us by the developer.

That "stupid edict" is part of our deed restrictions.
Artificial turf doesn't do photosynthesis which produces all that nice oxygen while it gets rid of carbon dioxide.
