Just to clear up the point of golf course ownership by quoting the VCDD Community Development District's website
Village Community Development Districts, "While the Country Clubs are owned and operated by the developer of The Villages, the Executive Golf Trail courses are owned and operated by the Village Center Community Development District and the Sumter Landing Community Development District. They are supported and maintained by the amenities fees of the residents of The Villages, meaning Greens Fees are free for all Village Residents." Hope this clarifies the different opinions.
