If you are going down 95 to Ormond beach and across 40 (as you went home) the answer is Yes, 9A is a nice ride. It's approximately 2 miles longer, but less traffic.

If you are looking for a shorter route (Time wise - 30 minutes less) check out 295 west to 10 west to 301 south to Waldo to 24 to 75 south. Then 75 south down to the Villages. It'll save time, but the ride through the forest is prettier.

Have a nice trip!
