If I wasn't a golfer who is willing to play mostly 9 hole executive courses, I'd be living in Stonecrest right now in a larger, nicer home, on a bigger lot, with an original purchase price that was a lot less than I paid in The Villages.
I could still come to the Village Squares, I could still go to concerts at Savannah and Sharon Morse Centers. I could still park at a Rec Center and then ride my bike or go jogging. As a Stonecrest resident I could enjoy all The Villages had to offer except the Rec Center activities, the swimming pools, and the golf courses. Also I couldn't drive my golf cart in to, around, and out of The Villages. (But why anyone our age actually enjoys riding around in a golf cart mystifies me).
Based on the lifestyle the OP described, if he and she don't golf, I think they'd do well to check out the other retirement communities in the area.

Well you couldn't join The Villages band or theatre, play cribbage or samba or bridge or mah jong or Zumba, play water volleyball or beach volleyball, or do over the 2000 other things in The Villages besides golf without your Villages ID. I think TV has MUCH MUCH more to offer than golf and sometimes this gets overlooked ( not really). There is even a Big Green Egg club here!
When people say "you are buying the lifestyle" they ain't jokin!
P.S. I am probably not your age..
