I couldn't agree more. Those who say you made a mistake in moving here, should realize there is more to life here than golf. The point is that TV over-inflate their green fees, a full page ad in today's Sun proves that. In the Villages of Fenny which has very little amenties are selling new Patio Villas for $130's, that's a 2009 price, Cottages are in the 180's, that's a 2012 price and masonry designers are in the $220 and $230's which is a reasonable price that is comparable to places such as On Top of the World and Arlington Ridge. If they can do those prices there, they can do that here since amenties cost the developers nothing since they are sold back to the CDC's and the infra-structure is paid by the bonds. Essentially the Village of Fenney is no different than TV except for the prices.

Golfing The Villages makes me dizzy. So many choices, championship, executive. Life is great!

AMEN....and if some you go offsite it just leaves more room here for me to get in my personal clean cart with my own refreshments and not throw multiple sets into my car, drive miles in my car and opens up more tee times for those of us who moved to the Villages for golf. :BigApplause::BigApplause:

I bought a brand new cottage home for $186,000 about 18 months ago. I am not in one of the new villages.

As long as the golf courses are full, why would they lower their prices. As in any business, they get what the market will bear. If there are similar quality golf courses outside for less money, they don't seem to be affecting The Villages championship courses. If they did, I'm positive that we'd see the prices come down.

:boom: :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

The 1:30 to 2:00 time slots are always filled during the winter months. It might make sense to open up more tee times for those wanting to play only nine holes during the winter months. Just a thought........

My group and I go offsite this time of year. Yes we save a little money and the courses are less crowded. Plus we get a taste of the many fine Central Florida courses.

This is a choice that we make, and it is not a statement about The Villages. We simply believe that adjusting to the situation is better than complaining and hoping for change.

If you cold make more money selling 18 holes , why would you sell only nine holes for less?

Amen....Finally a smart post!

Sounds very reasonable...except the last sentence doesn't really convey the spirit of the rest of the post.
