I just moved into St Johns, southern most section right near the Okahumpka Rec Center. My wife and I did the Lifestyle visit a year+ ago, then rented in Citrus Grove this past Feb-Apr. Decided this is where we wanted to be, and closed on the house in St. Johns in May. I was rated 3.5 by the Villages Pickleball Community. I'll be checking out the play at Water Lily (closest courts to where I'm at). If that doesn't work out for me, I'll be heading to Ezell Rec Center, where I played just about every day during our rental period. A great group of players - mostly intermediate to advanced players. Depending on your level, either of those 2 locations could work. Once the Richmond courts are opened, that'll obviously be a great option for you...and me as well (5 minute golf cart ride). I'm an avid golfer as well - @ a 15 handicap. Hope this helps, and if you want to hit a few pickleballs, or golf balls, let me know.
