The only reason I ask is that I had a look at the "Golfing in the Villages" PDF, and with reservation points and priority points I was left scratching my head. Am I just thinking slots are harder to book than they are? I'm just a single, btw.

We rent in February and March and almost never get shut out, despite playing at least five days a week. That is signing up as a twosome, a single should be even more easily accommodated. The point system is really pretty easy to manage and the online reservation system is very good and relatively easy to use. Feb and March are probably the two highest demand months of the year, but fortunately, we like to play early so we are usually able to get a preferable tee time. At that time of year, if one expected to play between 9 and 2, they would probably experience a lot of shutouts. In November it should be a relative piece of cake.
