If he loves golf, he must play quite a lot now. I still live in VA and play on average twice a week. The Villages cost me less then one forth to play that much. If he is an avid golfer he will want a priority membership to the championship courses. Cost around $900 a year. This is a family membership to all 12 courses and also provides access to the Country Club pools, plus includes the trail fee for your golf cart on all courses. Then each time he plays the green fees will be from $12 to $50. Depending on the course and time of year. Figure an average of $25. So twice a week is $50 times 52 weeks is $2600 plus the $900 or $3500 a year. Executive course once or twice a week for practice which is free. Again less then 1/4 what I pay to play in VA. So in my opinion golf in The Villages is very cheap.
