Other than the fact it's a golf course, it's also part of Lake Sumter and there is no fishing in Lake Sumter either. I guess they'll start giving handouts of the do's and don'ts of TV at closing time.

Villages News May 2016

A 19-year-old was jailed after he was caught fishing at a pond at a golf course in The Villages.

Brett Wayne Hill of Leesburg was arrested Thursday night after he was caught fishing at a lake at the Sarasota Golf Course, according to an arrest report from the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office.

Hill had previously been trespassed from all lakes in The Villages. Hill told the deputy he knew he had been forbidden to fish at lakes in The Villages, but decided to do it anyway.

He was arrested on a charge of trespassing and booked at the Sumter County Detention Center. Bond was set at $1,000.
I played Sarasota yesterday (3/28/21) and there were 3 guys fishing by the first and second holes. Two of them had little kids with them.
