Seems making OB a
priority member only club would break the main marketing promise:
The Villages is the only place in the world where you can play golf free for the rest of your life on all of our executive courses. As a resident, you’ll also receive free lifetime membership in all of our country clubs including The Villages’ Palmer Legends and Nancy Lopez Legacy country clubs…
As member I would sure hope I can go inside for a beer.
As far as Katie Bells? My memory says there was a time when the upstairs dining room was only for priority members and their guests. This would have been back when visiting my Dad in say 2002'ish. Anyone else remember that?
