Ask your neighbors if you can join their groups, or start a Friend's group of your own and start from there, the best way to go.
Intrude, seriously? Friendly fellow you are!

I too just moved into the Hammocks at Fenney and would like to find some regulars to play with. With as busy as things are scheduling it easy to get out as single, but I'm thinking more long term, for after the busy season. I am still working so I can only play on the weekends.... I could try some later tee times though during the week...

I find The Villages to be an extremely friendly place. Does that mean that every single person gets along with everyone? No. Does that mean that there are no mean spirited or grumpy people. No. But overall, people are more friendly here than any place that I've ever lived.

As a single I've been asked if I would like to join their group a couple of times by the time we finished 18 holes.

Yup. I've done it a lot. I've yet to play with anyone I wouldn't want to play with again...

One time, I was hooked up with a husband and wife. Not my first choice, but what the hell, make the best of it. They were a lovely couple with a wicked sense of humor...

I was playing a course I hadn't played before and I was relying on my partners for directional advice. On one of the par 5s, I hit a nice drive, then CRUSHED a 3 wood down the left side of the fairway... I got an "Oooh, that's gonna' be trouble! There's water over there..." Yeah, I was in the lake...

"NOW you tell me???' I replied... "Thanks for the tip!"

On the next hole, a par 3, there was a lake RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE GREEN... He piped up, "Watch out for the water!" With a sly grin on his face... I won't say what I called him, but his wife was howling, saying "You sure got him pegged!" It was like I had known them for years...

The entire round went this way. One of the best rounds I've had in years!
