As I get older and don't hit the ball as far anymore, I much prefer the Villages courses to those up north. I have been getting my A$$ kicked up north lately, with the longer courses (the white tees up north are typically much longer than the Villages), deep rough, nasty hazards, inconsistent sand traps, very narrow fairways, uneven lies everywhere, poison ivy and ticks, etc..... The only thing I like more about the courses up north is that the grass on the fairways is not cut so short that there is almost nothing under the ball but dirt. However, a tight lie in the Villages, as opposed to up north, is much easier to hit since the soil underneath the ball is sand, which explodes and does not jar the wrists. Golfing at the Championship Courses in the the Villages is really very good for seniors.
