Regardless what section of The Villages you are in, for new visitors I would these:
1. Go to any of the town squares. The experience of being able to drive a golf cart into a town is amazing and memorable. Plus, the the shopping and restaurants is an added bonus.
2. Go to one or more of the REC centers and have them look inside. The neighborhood REC centers are nice, but the Regional REC centers are amazing for new visitors. And they all are very different.
3. Go over one of the golf cart bridges. Regardless where they go, they will get their fill of tunnels, but going over any of the bridges in a cart are unique.
4. Go past any of the golf courses where the path is right along the fairway. That always gets someone a close and personal look at what many of the Villagers love about this place.
5. Finally, tell them to BE CAREFUL !!!! There are a lot of rules for golf cart travel that they better know before venturing out. And there are a lot of "crazy" drivers. Make sure they know where they can and CAN'T go. Even the Google Maps Bicycle view will not always route them on routes that they can take with a golf cart (e.g. a bike can cross a highway and carts cannot). The free Villages Florida app for directions is a better choice.
