I don't know that there is an accurate breakdown anywhere. I suppose if you dig into the details of the district gov budget, and allocate parts of the income toward specific expenditures, you could come up with some ratio that would probably be inaccurate by some margin. But I do know that the only golf for which the amenity fees used are the executive courses. The championship courses (aka country clubs) are owned and operated by the developer and receive no support from amenity fees. Another major use of the fees is for the staffing, support, and maintenance of the recreation centers and Recreation Dept, which enable the existence of the thousands of clubs and organizations in The Villages. So even if you don't golf on the Execs, if you take advantage of any clubs, I believe you are getting your money's worth, in my opinion. I'm sure there are other things the amenity fees are used for (Community watch?) and perhaps others can clarify that point.
