Default Primer / overview for potential new resident

We're presently considering moving to TV. Is there a resource (link, article, document) available that clearly explains TV golf options, terminology, and nuances?

Before I get the "use the forum search" response: I have. Either the search capability is lacking or the topic has not been discussed - which seems unlikely. I also searched TOTV using Google (via the site keyword) which was similarly lacking in results.

I understand that there are executive & championship courses. I also understand the cart trail fee to use your own golf cart. I've seen ambiguity over what exactly is included in the amenity fee vs additional out of pocket costs.

I have inferred that executive courses are included whereas championship courses are not. It does not, however, appear to be that simple. The golf rates document is loaded with abbreviations (EM, RM, EG/MM, RG, NR). Likewise waves (morning, afternoon, evening).

There is mention of a points system which seems to penalize for missed tee times and presumably other infractions (double secret probation)?

Finally there is the whole "enhancement" option which seems equally opaque to an outsider.

I would greatly appreciate any pointers. Thank you in advance.
