We looked all over TV...top to bottom....and met some genuinely nice folks along the way. Bid on a house on Palmer Legends but they wanted 700k and realistically it needed a 250k gut and rehab. New house started to look better. But here's a very main ingredient in our decisions....the nice folks. After a career of working in hospitals we didn't want to be the neighborhood first responders because everyone around us is older, and we wanted a neighborhood where garage parties and group activities are definitely going to happen after 2 PM. Golf addiction is not everyone's focus. There are posts that read as.... why else would anyone move to TV?. It's actually individualized and not always centered around golf. Some may say that the golf centric north is pretty to look at but it's terribly overcrowded with the most aged population in TV
I'm not suggesting that everyone moves to TV with the primary objective of accessibility to golf. I think some do, and I think the way TV markets itself suggests that no matter where you are you will have it. That's misleading.
Since the OP stated a concern about driving north, I was pointing out that if golf is a main reason for coming to TV, and why he or she would be driving north, it would be wise to know and experience the travel to the courses.
