The problem is that you do not own this property and are therefore technically trespassing. In the event that you were involved in an accident there are also potential liability issues for the owner. Would you consider it acceptable to walk around your neighbors property when they are not home after they specifically asked you not to? I would hope not. Be considerate and just follow the rules, Please!

Why would they make a 4PM tee time cut off in the first place, and how does people playing after 4PM, illegally, cause the 4PM cut off and possible complete shutdown?

You did not answer the basic question. Since I pay the same amenity fee as everyone else and IF it is well after hours with no golfers - what harm is being done? Why should anyone on this site care?

Let's be honest, the only one being selfish is the Developer. They like to play dictator since they control the Villages.

If by "on this site" you are referring to Talk of The Villages the answer is that eventually those few who choose to ignore the rules will cause the courses to be shut down for the rest of us. As to who does and does not pay amenity fees I cannot see how that gives you the right to trespass. By the way, you did not mention whether you paid the trail fees or not (not that it matters).

There are "golf haters" taking pictures of golfers, and Community Watch has been told to patrol and call the sheriff if people on the course won't leave.
Maybe you golfed after hours before with no repercussions, but this is a different time.
Please don't be selfish...

Does your logic hold for climbing over the gate at a pool after hours, so you can swim?

I think you need to set up a watch post to ensure that isn't happening.
