Either a fee to play, or an increase in amenities.
Are you willing to pay a fee to golf the Executive courses?
Hi Barefoot: The Villages claim was free golf for the rest of your life. Resident pay $141.00 for trail fees and also amenities. In addition they paid a premium component for the privilege of living here. In order to get a tee time they need to pay $8 per month to utilize the computer system. forget the free phone system its not user friendly. so free golf is not so free. Guests pay to play on executive courses plus they charge for pull carts...both acceptable practices.

I believe if TV attempted to begin charging fees for executive courses there would be an upheaval especially since this was the main calling card for many who bought here.
