I've just check out- but have not played- Lake Miona and Water Oaks and this list will help immensely.

Lake Miona and Water Oaks are relatively inexpensive and you can get deals, but as with most things you get what you pay for. Water Oaks is the better track, but a bit quirky and not in great shape (the last time I played it a year ago).
Lake Miona is downright dangerous with a lot of holes where you can easily be hit into from the adjoining hole. It is also typically not well kept, looks NOTHING like a Villages course.
My favorite off campus tracks are Spruce Creek South, Continental CC, and Plantation, with Spruce Creek my particular favorite for decent conditions and good value. None of the ones I have played are aesthetically near to equal to most of the Villages Country Club courses.
