Welcome Jim.
I play some golf but my husband is a rabid golfer! We visited friends in January, I pestered people with questions here on TOTV for months, came down just for a lifestyle visit in April, did not intend to buy, BUT the wonderful place, the friendly people and the non pressure from the sales people at the villages made us think we should really think about buying. We found a great place for us in Hadley and we have since been down twice to furnish it, buy a golf cart etc. In November we are coming down to enjoy the life in Paradise.
There is room for you too.
