These are 55+ communities and their golf courses are public. So are the restaurants there. Ironically, these courses are played often by Villagers I'm told when the courses in The Villages get too busy.
My son who works with me plays golf around here often on the public courses. He of course is well under 55, has a 7 handicap and lives in a smaller non 55+community a mile south of me nestled in between two other 55+ communities.
They have a teenage daughter, so of course they cannot live in a 55+ community. In a few years she will be over 18 years old and at that time if they so choose, they could buy and live in any 55+ community around here.
When I first moved down here I bought a home in a 55+ community. I was 48 years old. No one even asked our ages. I was told that 20% could own and live in the community as long as we did not have any kids living there less than 19. We did not.
A 20 year old person could buy a home in a 55+ community, and as long as they did not have anyone less than 19 living in the home it would be perfectly legal.
