It's a well maintained, beautiful place to live. The "HOA" fee pays for so much more than golf course maintenance. And that fee is unbelievably reasonable.
What frustrates me is that so many people expect "The Developer" to fix things. "Fix the Villages Regional Hospital, fix the golf courses, stop selling homes because it's getting too big/too much traffic and I don't like that."
If there comes a time The Villages doesn't have what I'm looking for... I will move to a community that better fits my needs. But I'm not going to blame The Developer... I believe they are trying to do the right thing for the people that live here. And I certainly don't begrudge them for making a profit on what they are doing.

we aren't talking about the hospital, or any other misc crap. when we are talking about the championship courses, they are OWNED by the developer. so they are fair game for complaints to be registered towards! as far as executive courses, those are paid for by our amenity fees - so our CDD supervisors and PWAC decide how much money they get. this IS all about money, it takes money to water and fertilize. that is all grass needs to grow!
