It worked just fine for over a decade. The Villages were not over-run by Stonecresters. So no one is using Villages amenities for free. Villagers don't own the Hospitals, Doctors, Stores, Restaurants, Town Squares, or Streets.

Some people are so wrapped up and consumed by fears of "Stolen Amenities" that they worry themselves crazy over nothing.
I beg to differ with you. Don't know if it is still happening or not, but at one point some were selling their property in TV and moving to Stonecrest to avoid paying the amenities here. Using their out-of-state ID, they would then get their friends in TV to get them guest passes. Shame on those friends doing that! That, by the way, is known as "gaming" the system.

They can come in and play the Championship courses as non-residents, however.....just not by cart anymore. They have to drive in and then rent a cart. I had some ladies from there ask me one day at Hacienda if I could get them guest passes so that they could play the executive courses, too. My answer? No.
