People who decide to try golf and hope to introduce their wives to the game always choose level 4 exec courses or get the 9:30 tee time on the champ courses. The snowbirds arrive and just stand around in the sports pools and invite their grandkids into the adult pools and don't have a clue to the difference. Otherwise, this is paradise and you can almost duplicate it for an additional $100K per year in another retirement community.

Thankfully people like that are a very small percentage. I think you'll run into things that are less than perfect no matter where you live. I enjoy my time in The Villages in spite of these imperfections, but I do wish some people would try a little harder to learn the basics.
Thanks guys --- well said
