Membership to the championship golf clubs is free. Meaing you can go there for dinner. Like a social membership to private Country Clubs you may be aware of. If you want to play golf or use the pool there is an annual membership fee. However it is very reasonable. I pay more per month for my private club in Northern VA then the annual fee for all 12 championship courses in The Villages. You still pay a greens fee when you play there, but again it is very reasonable. Go to
www.thevillages.com and foolow the links to golf and you can see all the fees.
