And you have all these well looked after properties all around. It is like being at a high end resort.
Wouldn't you think that a place as built up as The villages would have a lot of people and traffic? So, why would anyone buy in here who isn't prepared to deal with hard-to-get tee times, wait times at restaurants, traffic on the main roads? As for me, I have never been unable to get a tee time on one course or another...NEVER. I have always been seated within a reasonable time at any restaurant I've chosen...ALWAYS. I might not choose the restaurant with a line wrapped around the building. I have always been able to get from one place to another within the time I ALLOW for doing so. As far as traffic goes...why would I be in a hurry...I have left business meetings behind. I am retired.
