The Villages Executive Courses are open to Villages residents AND THEIR GUESTS. The so called Champion Courses are simply public courses that are open to anyone.

There is a minimum age but younger people can get permission to play by being evaluated but one of the golf professionals. The Villages even has a Junior Golf Program.

I don't know where you get the idea that The Villages is only for people 55 years old and above. In fact, anyone over the age of 19 is allowed to live here.

Young people are the future of the game. I'd like to see as many of them playing as possible. I've played with a lot of over 55 residents who have no idea what they are doing on a golf course and in my humble opinion should be allowed on a golf course.

The problem is age it's experience.
