Hi:

We tend to go to the neighborhood pool closest to our home and many of the parties we go to are at the regional rec center nearest our home, but you are welcome at any of them except the priority pools where you need a membership. We shop at the Colony shopping center because it is closest to our house. We travel by golf cart to get our groceries. Sometimes we eat at the restaurants there also. We travel to the square a couple of times a month in our golf cart (used to go more often, been here 6 years). We will travel all over the villages to a restaurant whether it requires a car or not doesn't matter where the restaurant is, it doesn't deter us from going. We also visit several restaurants outside the Villages. We shop for most everything on line (Amazon) except for clothes and we drive to Bealls or Belks. Sometimes we go to Orlando for something special. We eat at the country clubs nearest our house Mallory and Hemmingways more often than the others, but we do go to the others quite often especially when there is a special like lobster night at Glenview. We also eat at the restaurants in Sumter landing and we go by golf cart. We belong to a few clubs that meet once a month and entertain in our home once or twice a month. We play golf approx 3 days a week and go to lunch or dinner afterwards. Hope this helps.
