They can play golf, but they'd have to get a tee time, and there's only 2 to a golf cart so if they're really renting with several pals, they'd each have to pay to rent a golf cart.

This just really isn't a community that's designed to appeal to younger people. I'm not sure what the attraction is at all.
This is why I believe some if the young renters are relatives of a Villager. Here to visit but don't want to be too big of an inconvenience.

I did speak to a family that was renting for a week. They said it was cheaper than booking a hotel at Disney. Curious sightseers who have never been to Florida. They got a kick out of driving the included golf cart around, looking for alligators, spending time at the squares, took advantage of the supplied bikes, and using the private pool in their rented villa. Drove to Disney and came back the same night. Went to country clubs for dinner. They said they felt like millionaires and had one heck of a time.
