Walking will slow down things quite a bit. But you can have a caddy walk with your clubs.

The PGA and the USGA are not the same. The OP is talking about USGA rules.

The USGA allows carts, and shorts. It also allows you to change golf ball brands/models within a round (except in tournaments) so you can use any ball in your bag. It also allows for a local rule to be adopted where lost balls may be dropped in the fairway under penalty of 2 strokes (I don't know if the Villages has adopted that or not...or even if there is a committee). There are alot of differences, I don't know them all.
