The three golf 18-hole golf courses they have are meticulous and gorgeous and challenging, filled with very few par-3's. The terrain undulates and moves uphill, downhill, through and over deep gulches and across water. Not ponds, but a large body of lake water. A former New Yorker, she is not jealous of The Villages because she already lives in a similar place but does not care for the crowds and congestion compared to her current area.
Anyhow, the entire purpose of the post was because she mentioned her opinion of the courses in the Villages and since I have only golfed a very few of them, I thought I would validate / invalidate her opinion by gathering intel from those of you who have golfed far more than just a few of the courses in The Villages.
Thank you all for your input and insights.

So, she's comparing championship courses to executive courses... Alrighty then...
And also, "very few par threes" on he championship courses?
It's pretty much standard for 18 hole courses to have 4 par 3s, 4 par 5s and the rest par 4s...
Are her courses "special" in some way?
And it sounds like her home is carved into the mountains. Of course there will be more elevation changes!
One of the most beautiful and most challenging courses I've ever played was Kiawah, SC. Relatively flat, since it's on the beach!
