Most golf courses including those at the Villages are done via Slope Rating. With that said, TV also uses their own difficulty rating, which varies from 1-4 and according to who I spoke to there, it is done based on a myriad of factors that include both length and difficulty. This could be number of hazards, greens, etc.
