I spoke with a nice woman, “Sue”, at the Golf and Tennis Admin to inquire whether we could extend our 6 month membership to a year and pay the difference of $200 in consideration of our plight…Sue told me that the only option I have is to pay for another 6 months ($792) that I cannot extend my 6 month membership to a year. (under normal circumstances I can understand this…).
I asked to speak to her supervisor to see if an exception could be made and was told that her manager, “Kala”, was busy and would call me back. I haven’t heard back yet as I am sure Kala is rather busy…. My feeling is that with the unprecedented situation we find ourselves in there might be some accommodations made by The Villages to allow for a one-time extension. We will see when “Kala” returns my call.
Am I being unreasonable in asking for an extension for the $200 difference rather than having to pay another $800 for the next 6 months??? (Had I known last fall that I’d be here this summer due to the pandemic I would have gladly paid the annual fee).
I appreciate any feedback, I don’t mean to be a complainer or rabble-rouser…

Unless we are in for another big surprise like the large increase in Winter rates, the Summer rates should be much lower than now. You might find the lower rates do not justify the need for a Priority membership. Just a thought....... And, if they decide to close the courses, you do not loose again.
