Play 3 holes, then walk down to the next neighborhood. Play 3 more, then walk back to another neighborhood. Yes, things have changed, but still a great place to escape the snow and ice.
When they were building around Lake Sumter you paid a premium for a "Peek-a-boo" golf course lot, meaning if you went outside and looked between two homes across the street you could see a little bit of fairway. When they started McClure full golf front lots were a steal, when they started Fenney private waterfront lots were under $50,000.00, stucco designer homes on water with pools were available for under $400,000.00. Everytime they start a new village there are bargains to be had. The executive courses down here are far from boring, you either see the glass half full or half empty.
