"Free Golf For Life"! It's a factual statement. If you play any of TV's 20 some lovely executive golf courses, carry your bag or use a hand cart, it's free.

Saying that it's not true because residents have to pay an amenity fee is the same as saying its not true because you have to buy a house, or pay taxes, or utilities, or own golf clubs, or have transportation to a golf course, etc. More than 70 thousand folks have decided that the overall costs of living here provide an overall benefits package which is really worth it. Those who carefully compared this place to others think they got the best value-for-dollar here. Some actually think that free golf is the clincher.
