The Villages is a retirement community for senior citizens. Many residents have knee and or hip replacements and/or are in their final years. Many residents simply can’t walk the courses, but that shouldn’t mean they can no longer play. It would be healthier for many residents to play using a cart than to not play at all. Many residents play the Championship courses until they reach a point in their life where those courses become too challenging and then transition to the Executives. Others play the Championship courses when the slow season rates are in effect and then can only afford to play the Executives during busy season. Plus, the trail fees paid to ride the Executives are part of the budget used to maintain those courses. And don’t forget another important factor, pace of play. The use of carts will never be eliminated on the Executives.
