Actually, some clubs do not require you to be a resident to join. We belong to the MSU Alumni Club and even though the majority of the members are Villagers, it is open to anyone, and includes some from StoneCrest and Del Webb. But because we have some non Villagers as members, our club has to pay for the use of the Rec Centers where we hold our meetings. So part of our annual dues goes to the rental of Rec Center facilities. To answer your question whether you HAVE to be a Villages Resident, it depends on the club. I do suspect, however, that the majority of the clubs advertised are Residents Only. That way they can reserve and use the Rec Center facilities for free and they can control the size of their membership. My recommendation is to contact the club(s) you are interested in and find out from them whether you are eligible to join and participate.
