Cool! Do I understand correctly that "Priority" has been replaced by "Enhanced"?

Just went through your fine database and now know *so* much more! The wifey is new to golfing, so now knowing where the Executive "1's and 2's" are relative to Gentle Terrace is just wonderful. Now wondering even more about the "pitch and putts" and maybe a different "culture" associated with them?

Not if the requirement is to also circle the course with $250K lots...

Why didn't you move someplace close to courses?

Or just drive the 1/4 mi across the Turnpike bridge...

Where can you get a new house close to golf courses?

The last ones I know about being built were along the Red?Gray Fox courses. Don't know if they're finished yet...

But... There will be a ton of them across the Bexley Bridge, along all of the courses they are currently building or have planned...

Once the construction around Eastport is done, there's supposed to be I believe 4-6 new executive courses there, all a short golf cart ride over the Bexley bridge.

PLEASE stop arguing with facts and supporting documents.
So you’re saying they are building 3 more execs souther of turnpike (to go with the 5 that are already there (plus the pitch and putt)
Plus 5 championships?

Impossible, The Villages is abandoning golf.

A year from now you will be buying a new home near Middleton and Eastport, so you will have golf courses to play.

We are on our fourth house and now live in Richmond, we still play courses near Lopez, and over to Hill Top, with friends. Yep some days are a hike, but we breakfast or lunch after. Much to many who oppose Gas cart, it’s just piece of mind to drive one
