So - does anyone have DIRECTIONS to the golf course from the Spanish Springs area? Or even from Sumter Square, since we know how to get there just fine.

I understand to go Morse Blvd, take whatever tunnels get you around the roundabouts, south south south...

But I also know to get to Kristine something, because you can't go further on Morse by golf cart and have to use Kristine to get to some bridge that goes over 44. Only one of us is going.

GPS gives live instructions, but not printable directions. I need printable directions, and they have to include the lead-up and instructions on how to get to this Kristine Way/Road bypass, and the name of the bridge that he has to go over, and everything from that point on.

Google maps using bicycle option is useless because it says to ride ON the roundabouts, which you can't do in a golf cart, and I'm not familiar enough with signage and tunnels and bypasses down there and would totally spend a lot of time being lost.
Download the FREE Villages GPS APP .

Click on “Recreation and Business “

Click on “Championship Course “ and then search for Shallow Creek….

Click on “Navigate” and then chose “Golf Car”

You’ll see the route mapped out for you . However, look at the lower right of the screen and you will see three horizontal lines stacked on each other . Some call this the “hamburger” icon.

Click on that and you will get a written turn by turn directions to the route .

Take a screenshot and save to photos . Due to the length of your trip, you will need to scroll and screenshot several times to get the whole trip.

When you get to the end , go to your photos and print each screenshot so that you can piece them together.

There you have your accurate “paper directions” you asked about.

This sounds complicated but it isn’t. It will take you 5 minutes, including downloading the free app .
