What other amenities are there besides golfing (we are not avid golfers, although we enjoy mini golf on occasion haha)? Is there anything you would recommend to first time Village home-owners?

We are appreciative for your comments in advance!

The thrill and excitement of dancing at the squares, drinking at the squares, shopping at the squares becomes less for many of us in a couple of years when we have a friend base group established and other activities that make us fairly tired in the evening. Don't discount the siren call of the Golf here. Many non golfers join the fray.

We had our first home in Hadley, nearer 466A and our second really close to 466. We like being close to shopping and other appointments that become quite common as we age. (medical) I enjoy being really close to Laurel Manor Regional Rec center and go there three days a week for various art and craft groups. We bought new and our neighbors are fairly close to us in age and we enjoy them.
