Golf in The Villages is public golf. "Groups" have to function within those parameters ... they're not entitle to any "special treatment" by golf course staff. They shouldn't be switching around players into different groups, switching foursome Tee Times, nor making things uncomfortable or difficult, for those who legitimately booked a Tee Time. If a Group ends up with Threesomes, it's THEIR problem, not anyone else's.
I typically book as a single and if a group tries to move me around, it's definitely a no-go. I'm playing at the time I booked and if you switch players around, so I'm playing in 2-some or 1-some, behind a group, I'm making a stink about it.
The rules are the same for everyone, single, doubles & groups. You play at the time you reserved and play in the group you reserved with. & the group doesn't like it, tough luck ... they should do a better job managing their group.

As someone who also books exclusively as a single (so far), I couldn’t have written this any better. Once a I got a “those guys said it’s ok if you play with them”. My response was, no kidding, it’s MY tee time. So far I’ve never had a problem playing with a random threesome, or if I happened to fall in to a group of threesomes. But I can be very personable if I have to (no….really).
But to me it’s simple, if there is an open spot that works for me, I’m taking it. If someone irrationally doesn’t like that, it’s their problem, not mine.
