Even in the "non-snowbird" time of year when the Executive courses are not crowded, no one really appreciates a group of extremely slow golfers in front of them and the usual thing is the faster group will ask the slower ones if they can play through. Usually, it is a "Yes" and there is no problem for anyone.
If the OP and husband have never golfed and mainly just want to walk; there are miles of Multi-Modal trails used for walking, carts, and bikes. I personally would suggest that IF they do not want to learn golf.
However, if they do want to learn golf, it is a great idea to take a week's worth of lessons at Palmer or Tree Tops and also learn all the golf etiquitte and rules so everyone can enjoy the golfing experience of The Villages. Pick up a set of used clubs and very likely, they will become golfers - maybe not the best but having a great time playing in The Villages.
