I live near St. Catherine and I work in Clermont 1 day a week.

The Costco will be east of Clermont on Route 50 a few miles.

It is not that far away from The Villages; either by 27 -> 50, or Florida Turnpike.

If by Turnpike, I think it costs $3+ each way. Not a lot, but something to consider.

If by 27, then 50, it will take longer than posted. If there is no traffic, you will move along, but I always find traffic in one or more places along the way. Usually, it take 30 - 40 minutes just to get to my job in Clermont. The Costco is about another 5 - 10 minutes in heavy traffic to the East.

I will still be going to that Costco, don't get me wrong. It is just a longer hustle than you might be led to believe via Google Maps or Waze.
