Now this question is on what courses does everyone suggest I demo the clubs assuming I will try to play about 10 times during the month. I am looking to fully try to experience The Villages.

Larry,
I would try a smorgasbord of courses.... both Executive (E) and Championship (C). I live south of 466, so some of my exec recommendations will have that bias. We go all over for the championship courses, but tend to play the execs nearer to home - that four letter word (WORK!) gets in the way sometimes.
1. First warm up - Turtle Mound (E). It is "easy" in some ways, but fairly open and good practice.
2. Follow that up with Bogart, Sandhill, Redfish Run or Bonita Pass. (all E)
3. For a first championship course I would pick Orange Blossom (up in the historic side), or Mallory. If you play Mallory, don't start on Caroline - she is anything but "sweet".
4. Other championship courses we really like: Havana, Lopez, Palmer, Glenview. We also like the others - but there have been issues with greens/fairways. There is a thread on course conditions - I would check it out.
5. Other execs we really like - Pelican (challenging!), Heron, Yankee Clipper (it is 18 now; will likely be split into two 9's in August with Southern Star being the other half), Truman and Roosevelt. All the execs have ratings as to level of difficulty. You can download that at Golf the Villages.
