If I had to guess, I would guess The Villages has Floratam St. Augustine? Is that the sod that is sold in Home Depot and Lowes here in The Villages?
South of 44 in District 13, where I live, they used ProVista SA that is glyphosate tolerant, (eg; Roundup), but according to a different thread, they may have switched to Floratam in District 14, (Dabney and Lake Denham).

I’m not sure about the areas north of 44 that have SA as the original sod but I would guess Floratam.

Looking on the Lowe’s and Home Depot websites, it shows they offer three or four different SA cultivars from two different sod farms.
