Not that long and of course lifestyle visits were booked and that was okay and we got a room at the Brownwood Hotel. I do have some questions if anyone knows. I know about the restaurants and the music in the squares.

Is it possible to rent a golf cart for such a short period and where would I go? If I get a golf cart would I still need a car?

What's the nearest good quality gym for my husband.

I read something about Trolley tours?

For such a short period what do you suggest we do? I am interested in pickle ball and I realize you have to take a class first etc., and wondering if it's too short of a visit to play? - The lifestyle person said they would get us some passes for things we are interested in.

We don't golf.

I like the pool, husband does not. He loves the music.

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I am so excited to visit the Villages and I have seen so many you tube videos that I really feel I am going to love it there. My husband doesn't seem convinced and is comfortable living in freezing New England so it will be interesting, though I feel he will love it also. We will see.

Thank you in advance for any advice and comments.

There are three trolly tours of about 1-2 hours each - take all three and learn about and see The Villages!!
