Life style visit
Do play a round of golf. They will help you with tee times. You can rent clubs at the country clubs so you don't have to pack your own. My wife is a beginner and she was really self conscious. However going around the course gives you a complete different perspective. She only played shots she was comfortable with so we had a great time.
Don't spend every day looking at houses unless you are ready to buy. Pick a couple of floor plans that interest you to view. You can really get a lot of information on homes online. What you can't do online is get a feel how neighborhoods tie together with recreation centers, trails, etc. So get out in the cart and get lost. A friendly villager will give you directions to get back.
Visit the recreation centers. If you see a upcoming meeting that you might be interested in ask if you might attend to observe.
Ask lots of questions and be observant. One evening while listening to music on the square my wife notice someone with our college logo on it. We both attended a small college so that caught our eye. We struck up a conversation and before you knew it we were getting that couples complete history of their transition to the villages.
We've been visiting the villages since once a year for the last 7. We're still 2 years away from moving but the lifestyle visit really got us started.
