Welcome to the Spanish Springs area! I'm over in the Historic Section, right across the street from the Town Square. The closest "Pitch & Putt" is over 1/2 hour from Spanish Springs by golf cart. Great for once a week or once every other week, but I wouldn't go there regularly if I just wanted to learn enough to enjoy the game.

The Villages offers a "New To Golf" program, you can check it out here:
Golf The Villages

It offers contact info and signup on the page.

Remember to fix your own divots, rake sand traps after using them and putting the rakes spines-down in the sand and handles out toward the green (it's a safety thing - you wouldn't want to step on those spines, yeouch!), and if you're physically able, keep your golf cart on the golf path at all times to avoid having to figure out which ones you can ride off, and which you have to stay on. You can also walk the executive courses pretty easily, especially if your cart bag has wheels.
