The Villages courses are mostly designed as "resort courses" with lots of water that doesn't come into play much, wide open fairways, big greens, etc. They are mostly designed to keep play moving. My "home course" in Upstate NY had narrow fairways lined with woods, lots of creeks and ponds for you to roll into, small greens, etc. When you hit a "wide right" drive, in most cases you were in the woods with no hope of even finding the ball. Golf in The Villages is much more enjoyable.
