I agree. The Villages should rename all of the "country clubs" and call them "restaurants", which is what they are. A country club has members who can visit, watch TV, play cards, sit in the library and read the newspaper, or just visit with other members. Country clubs are not open to the public.

The "country clubs" in The Villages and open to the public, and when you visit, you must order food or a drink or they will tell you to leave. There are no private rooms where you can sit without ordering food. So, these so-called country clubs are not country clubs at all. They are restaurants and that is what they should be called.
