Not true. The Villages clearly calls them "Country Club Restaurants" on their website. They even list each one and include photos.
Check it out. Some of the lifestyle visitors actually think that these are actual country clubs. In my opinion, this is deceptive.

I would also add that the golf courses have a dress code, but the restaurants don't. It is fine to dine at one of the restaurants wearing a tee shirt, but you can't go on the golf course without a collared shirt.
