Because the villages is nice enough to allow your renters to enjoy themselves exactly as if they were villagers themselves. In essence TV is allowing your renters to step into your shoes. Yes , you are paying the monthly fees and are not allowed to use the facilities, but your renters are.

There is no rule that says your renters have to get the amenity cards. They can always just be guests. Then you could keep your own cards and do as you want. However that does not give your renters the free exec golf and would make it MUCH harder for landlords to rent their homes out to renters.

If this were not the case then we would have much more crowded golf courses than we have now. We have friends that against our advise moved to Stonecrest in Oct 07 because they could get much more home for the money. We tried to convince them that the appeal of TV was the lifestyle. After living there for 4 months they saw their mistake (the Daily Sun is a great selling tool for TV) , and have been trying to sell for over a year now. They thought they could move next to TV and then just use our facilities. I had to laugh when they recently complained at how crowed the Church on The Square was for their free entertainment.

As I mentioned if TV did not have the policy they have then we could just turn in a private rental agreement to the Hometown Property Management saying our stonecrest friends were renting our home, pay the $50 and they could have free golf for the year, as well as us. This would help all the surrounding communities sell homes, hurt TV sales, and make our courses more crowded.

They already lengthened the times the exec courses are open and have ambassadors staying later in the day to try and keep non villagers off the courses.
