Only starters will be present to assist in orderly starts and assure 1 golfer is a villager. No ambassadors. No rentals or sales of any kind.

Default Christmas golf

The reservation system shows no open tee times. Does that mean we can just show up and see the starter to play? First Christmas in the Villages!
Happy Christmas Eve Day!

Turn up, play any course, no booking required.
Last Christmas we were here, wife and I had a nine ball in front of us, before we went round!

Complaining posts to follow; large crowds, long waits, inexperienced golfers…

So we need not reinvent the wheel here is last year's free golf discussion. Same as the year before and the year before and the year before. It is an attempt to deflect the course carnage dissertations but my intuition says no. Christmas? - it's groundhog day.

Christmas Day golf

Excellent, however the carnage is REAL and began with the first group out this AM. I sat on my lanai and watched for a while as "golfers" (and I use that term loosely) took divot after deeper divot but had an allergy to the sand bottle, tramped through the bunkers with a rake allergy, drove their carts within a foot of the greens, and didn't have a clue what a ball mark was much less how to repair it. Yes, you're right---it's the same as last year, and the year before, etc. Free golf on Christmas??? Personally, based on 8 years of watching the destruction, I would charge DOUBLE today!
