Might want to check the math, and "a lot" needs a definition, but.....
If a couple goes for the whole enchilada, $971 EM + $273 pools + $132 Trail fees = $1,376/year
EM vs RM savings on most courses are $17.50 Jan-May and $9 June-Dec (2022) or an average of $12.54 year round.
$1376 / $12.54 = 109 rounds/year. So, a couple that "plays a lot" is actually playing one round/week to break even, and that's not counting the benefit of being more likely to get their choice of tee times, exec play and pools.
If the same couple plays 3x/week, they save $3,912.48 per year less the $1376 netting $2536.48 in savings----probably the best bargain in the Villages.
I leave it to interested readers to do the math for single enhancements and those without pool or trail fee add ons.
