The other point of emphasis by my agent was the swimming pools. Granted they are not indoor but it is surprising how almost no one mentions them in terms of exercise on this thread. Obviously TV has put money into these as well and I think there are almost 40 of them?
My point is that TV isn't making false promises in my opinion. I know pretty well what I'm getting and what I'm not when I decide to move.

I heartily agree with you on this, Russ. From our first visit to TV until we came back to buy, the map of TV was a permanent fixture on our kitchen counter in Utah. We checked the new listings every night, and we narrowed our housing search based on the amenities we wanted. I wanted to be close to the pools, so our new house is within walking distance to 3 pools -- the family pool, the neighborhood pool, and the Regional Rec Center pool. (And after I show Mr. Judy your excellent break-even costs for the priority membership, we'll have a country club pool. Thank you!) We checked out all of the pools in the neighborhood before we bought our house.
Everybody on this forum says to spend the time to do your homework before you buy. If a gym is important to you, go check out the gym. If a walking trail is important to you, go walk on it. If a dog park is important, go check it out. TV doesn't advertise on the animal channel or the exercise channel -- they advertise on the Golf Channel. IMHO everything else you get here is a bonus.
Just my 2 cents,
Judy
PS: A family visited our pool over the holidays, and everyone (from grandpa to the baby) wore long-sleeved UV protection swim shirts and goggles while they were at the pool. They spent hours there every day, and they had a wonderful time. Where there's a will, there's a way.
