I just read in another forum that The Villages has indicated that it will likely be another three weeks before any courses will be reopened. Is this true? If true, has this ever happened before in the history of The Villages. Do you think that this is fair recovery time given the "monster" nature of Milton or do you think they should be able to reopen a few executive and championship courses sooner? I haven't been here longer to have a valid opinion so I'd like to hear from you.

With Irma 7 years ago it took a couple weeks before golf started opening up. Championship courses get priority over executive.
Whatever the time frame management should extend the renewal dates of all golfers who paid for enhanced membership and/or executive trail fees. That is what the paper does when you put the paper on hold.

If true, has this ever happened before in the history of The Villages( makes no difference)

. Do you think that this is fair recovery time given the "monster" nature of Milton or do you think they should be able to reopen a few executive and championship courses sooner?( should be left to the experts)

Yeah, right on, and don't forget I need credit for any rainy days where there were no points, oh and days that were cart path only as I don't golf those days, and any too cold days too and heat emergency over 95 degree days too. I need my $$ credits. /s

Not surprising using Irma in 2017 as a baseline. Courses were closed for a couple weeks after that storm and then began to slowly open up over time. Although I believe Irma dropped more rain on the Villages than Milton, the ground was already saturated and water levels were high before Milton arrived. After Irma Lake Sumter wasn’t nearly as high as after Milton.

No different than when everything was shut down during initial Covid but golf. What goes around comes around… now golfers experiencing what rest of use had to endure.

Does anyone have any recommendations on closeby courses outside of TV that are reasonably priced to play 9 or 18 holes?

I suspect it will be a while before Continental Country Club opens up. They got nailed with a ton of uprooted trees and broken limbs...

Well said. People just don't seem to understand that costs don't go to zero when the courses are closed.

Could be worse op, your house could have been washed away so no more worrying about playing golf
