News flash for the above poster, many snowbirds (the ones that own and don't rent) are residents. They pay amenity fees and property taxes year round regardless of weather or not they are at the Villages. That helps keep everyone's costs down and allows full time residents to enjoy cheap golf during the non winter months. Suggesting "residents" should get favorable pricing versus "snowbirds" is ridiculous! Golf prices are driven by supply and demand. More people at the Villages in the winter, coupled with less t-times because the days are shorter, equals higher greenn fees.
