Just came here for a week for the free golf that somehow came with a weekly rental. He belonged to a country club in the north east. I’m guessing that he doesn’t get by treating his course that way. Bottom line, if every weekly renter treated our courses this way, they would be in terrible shape for the home owners of The Villages. Free golf included with a weekly rental is quite a perk for the owner and the renters!

Seldom a week goes by that we do not see that kind of behavior ! Difficult to pin it all on the AB&B people, but one thing we noticed (it it means anything, who knows ?) is most villagers have their names on their golf carts. We did get curious enough about things like stepping ON the hole around the edges(!), hammering the head of a putter into the green when a putt is missed, never repairing ball marks or divots on tees or fairways, and definitely do never using sand ..... seems to be people in carts that have NO name(s) painted or decal, sooooo that could indicate and support what you suspect. We've heard many comments (one from a guy on the phone last week at the pool, literally calling friends and yelling into the phone "I'm telling you Dave, this is THE best deal you'll find in Florida, yes... again he said YES, ALL included, Yes, all the golf you want to play and about a thousand other activities, I'm telling you, this beats the H--- out of that all inclusive place we went in Cancun" . So, the word spreads fast what a great deal this resort actually is and the demand just keeps growing, and the villages is delighted that buying up income properties is so in demand.
