It takes me 1 hour and 20 minutes to get to the farthest course from me. Most courses are a 30-45 golf cart ride. The time to go by cart to a Villages course or to a course outside The Villages is a wash for me. The cost? Really? If the course is 30 miles away, I'm looking at a bit over $5 in gas... when I go with a 4 some it's less than $1.50. That doesn't make much of a dent in the $30-$40 I'm saving EACH time I golf.

The Villages is simply over charging because they can. They have a captive audience that really like driving their own carts and are willing to pay for that convenience.
