I can be on 24 different golf courses in less than 15 minutes, by golf cart. Four of them are championship. Cane Garden, Mallory, Palmer and Havana.
When I see discussions like this, where Villages are sharing pools, I realize how much the ratios have really changed in this current phase of growth.
Me too. We live near Sumter and have the same variety of amenities. Interesting to see how the Developer has cut back. That said, if you don't use the pools or attend pool related sports, it shouldn't be a problem. And many people are adding their own pools. Prospective buyers need to consider what activities they will be involved in and make decisions as to home locations accordingly. If you're a golfer, proximity to golf courses may be your priority. Or if you plan on playing softball, you'd want to be near softball fields, etc.
