Funny how they jump the prices Oct 15th, then overseed. The courses are brought back too soon into the rotation with the greens uncut and with cart restrictions. That's why I prefer to go off campus between Oct 15th and Nov 15th. The outside course conditions are better and the rates are reasonable. Just remember to call ahead and ask about their overseeding schedules so you don't run into the same bad situation.

Your foursome may burn a little gas driving off campus, but at least your using their carts instead of yours when you get there. Plus, it's nice to have a change of scene playing courses outside the bubble.

But it all comes down to supply and demand to justify the price increases. Enough people here just grin and bear it and would never ever think of venturing outside The Villages, or God forbid, complain.
