Not sure how crowded it is where you live, but even though there are 75,000 residents, the community is set up in such a manner that it doesn't seem that congested. In the winter there is considerably more traffic, but it's not nearly as bad as where many people have moved from. I'm from southern CA and lived fairly close to one freeway. Talk about traffic! Waiting at a restaurant could happen in the winter and it does, but when you live here, you learn to adjust to more people and some of the waits.
Golf....if you are willing to put in a wide enough time range and a good number of courses, you shouldn't have difficulties getting out to play. Each Friday we have a group that varies in size from 12 up to 24 players. I think we've only been "shut out" once in a year. Hubby plays with groups on Thursday and Friday and they don't have trouble either. His groups are large, also.
A lot of people do love it here, there is so much to love. It might take some adjustment because the community is planned, set up with some pretty small lots, but the people are great, giving, friendly and enjoy all that the community and the surrounding areas have to offer. I'm not sure that your realtor really knows or understands what The Villages is like or about. You can do or not do so many things, some for recreation, some for emotional growth, some helpful for those who need someone to help. Only you can decide if this community is right for you.
