If we were staying for multiple days, I would definitely hope to get a guest pass to check out the amenities. That'll happen on our next trip.
This first trip is designed to get a rough lay of the land and hopefully figure out which area we gravitate to. That'll help determine where we book a longer stay.

You're right, a day or two will not be long enough. Take a ride on a Villages Trolly from lake Sumter Landing. The trolley guides have a good overall knowledge of TV. As you ride and take in the scenery you'll be able to get a lot of information and questions answered. In my opinion, the best tennis & golf is north of 446 but they are also the older neighborhoods. The best shopping and services are along 446 but that is slowly changing. The "future" of The Villages is south however the residential areas are booming and the commercial support is very slowly following. If you are younger south of 44 might be the place but there are pros & cons to that area. I've had 3 homes in The Villages all north of 446. I would consider south however not for a few years till services and shopping catch up.
