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.
Disagree---about the restaurant part. Restaurants are not the main focus (but come in second). But these are not "country clubs". How about calling them "18-hole golf courses"?
