Two and a half years to connect.......
Mrs. KC and I drove to Fenney this afternoon to look around to see what's been done. We found a CYV with a pool and a view and were really interested in it until we found out Fenney is not going to be connected (as the realtor called it) with a MMP to the rest of the bubble for two and a half years. :22yikes: We got to tour Red Fox Golf Course and it is stunning, but we love playing too many courses with our own carts to not be able to do that for that length of time. :(:(

For some I think that's the appeal of Fenny. We have friends who are buying there and the reason is it's slightly removed but still close to main campus.
|
What we need is a shuttle service from Brownwood and/or Burnsed Rec Center. They would be 9 passenger vans pulling trailers that could hold 4 carts. Have regular service between the 2 pickup points and the Fenney golf courses. It could also be used by the Fenney residents wanting to use their own carts north of Hwy 44.

Actually, it does sound believable, but the timing is TBD. |

In those two and a half years it will look like Morse south of 466a when we moved here two and a half years ago. |

And who will pay for that ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Probably can use a Sun Pass.

If they got that MMP that far in 2 and a half years I'd be really impressed. But they've impressed me before.

Well you may or may not see it this way. Several years ago and in the recent years, the emphasis was on Golf Carts, smaller more convenient units. And now,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,? The trend seems to be toward more big cars, the bigger the better, Muscle Cars, the more road traffic, the accidents, some will disagree, but that is fine. Development seems to be going away from the Carts? Do you see the Caddies, the Lincoln's and other 4500 pound units around? Well at least those buggies and all that steel does provide more protection for the people who love the Happy Multi Hours.

Under Promise and Over Deliver is the plan. It will be connected sooner.

You seem a bit ticked off

Things you may not be aware of. Real estate law is if it is not in writing it is meaningless. Compared to other managers, there is no shortage of places where they set up a fancy office sell you a PLAN ON THE WALL which is nothing but a drawing and they sell you a very over priced lot perhaps with no electrical, water or sewer service. There is not guaranty that any of the beautyful sketches on the chart will ever be built-the non built pool, club house for that matter the home next door could turn out to be a broken motor home. As you/we read through these posts, you will find some who think the world will stop because the golf courses are wet-we did just have a hurricane. Other complain because their garden waste, which they have given no consideration of what it would take to pick it up-ie it is not tied in to bundles. ETC-ETC-ETC- Nothing is perfect. I for one fear the thought of the inmates running this place. |

Maybe in the future....but a resale on the market..today...in Fenny....will lose money in realtor fees alone. Only hope would be For sale by owner.....and even then.... |

The homes in Fenney were well priced and in a couple of years when all is attached to the "mainland", and those folks want to sell and move to larger or smaller as many of us have already done, they will make a nice amount. I betcha. Yup. Those folks in Fenny are smart and they are lucky as well. Patience, Grasshopper. Some folks just keep hatcheting the area that people have chosen for their homes. People said the same to us, buying right close to highway 466. Nobody likes to appear stupid. Well we weren't and the Fenny folks aren't either. |

listing your home in Fenny tommorrow because you were misled or changed your mind....will never gain more than you purchased it last month...... between closing costs lost and 6 percent realtor fees..and possibly bank fees.....its a loose loose.... next year maybe...tommorrow...no way... |
I'm wondering about the poster who is complaining that it was... "Never disclosed Exercise equip additional charge $55 mo for 2 bikes and tredmill". If one were interested in using this equipment, wouldn't you visit one of the regional rec centers where you can see the prices? I was interested in the fitness centers when I bought and checked it out. Should every salesperson disclose that there isn't a covered pool or that not all executive courses have a par 4?

I had never been thru that door so the entire bus was waiting on gasped breath to see what was thru the door... It was a exercise gym. The trolley conductor made such a big deal about this and neglected to mention the fees attached with the usage of this facility. She also marveled at telling all our friends from home that by living in TV we are now members of 12 County Clubs.......she also neglected to mention that you can only eat there......you have to pay to play and you cannot use the swimming facilities unless you pay for them as well.... I do think that some times.....the whole story is not being told.....and our guests for one...had no idea until I made it clear to them......they need to know going in whats the real benefits.... TV is great and has been very fruitful to us in many ways....and we enjoy the time we spend here..... But.....give us the good with the bad.....TV will win people over regardless. |
At any private country club, the buy in just to be a member can be as little as $10,000 up to $100,000. Plus you must spend a certain $$$ amount in the restaurant or you will be charged that amount every month. Low end is $600. You still pay caddy fees, and sometime females can only play on a certain day at a certain time. Then comes the cost of guests that can range from $200 and up for 18, plus caddie and tip. If you are not a member you can't use the restaurant, pool,or golf course.
So technically we are members of 12 country clubs, that you can go to the restaurants, and play golf for a fee. The only thing our Membership does not include is their pools. We chose priority membership for that reason |

Sounds like a fairly major operation with 9 passenger vans pulling 4 cart trailers, and I assume a regular schedule? Who do you propose will pay for the service? If the answer is Amenity fees, I highly doubt it will fly. And I doubt the Village of Fenny residents would be lining up to use the service at hefty prices. |
You can drive your car down there and they will give you a golf cart, well, I heard two versions, they will give you a golf cart or rent one for $5.00

they would however rent a cart for 3 hours for $5 so you could play golf, or $6 championship..but only if one was available. so there ya go...from the horses mouth. |
we also went to lunch and stopped by the sales center at fenny. We asked to see the maps that detailed the 2 1/2 year mmp operations that everyone seems to be mentioning. There were none. The signs show future plans and dreams, but nowhere did it ever indicate a time frame.....
Just setting the record straight. So 1 year, 2 years, 3 years...never?.....that is up to everyones individual interpertations.... |
Other than going to Publix at Denton Plaza, getting across 44 in a golf cart is going to acomplish what? It's 5 miles from Fenney to 44, it's 11 miles from 44 to Cane Garden. Who's going to drive 16 miles in a golf cart each way to play Cane Garden? Give or take a mile or two, Evans Prairie, Mallory, Havana subtract 3, Palmer add 3. Other than Bell Glade and Bonifay I don't see it as all that great to be able to drive from Fenney to TV to play golf.
Once they have that golf cart bridge built they'll probably have new homes built within a mile of 44, that takes away about 4 miles. So if you're a golfer and want to drive your cart to the course, and want a newer, bigger, better, pool, whatever house, wait the 3 years and you can get 4 or 5 miles closer and newer home in Fenney. Although it will have different village name and probably cost more. |

Just imagine you have a 11:56 teetime at Cane Garden. I've gone to Lopez twice in a cart myself and it was 55 minutes each way and I'm only driving 11 miles from Tamarind Grove. The third time I played Lopez I drove my car and rented a cart. Back to my scenario, you've loaded up the clubs in the Village of Fenney for your 16 mile cart ride to Cane Garden, teetime 11:56, better allow 90 miles for travel plus add check-in time and practice putting, I'll leave at 10am. Arrive Cane Garden 11:30, go pay and putt and tee off at 11:56. Finish round at 4:15, no time for the 19th hole, head back to Fenney 90 minutes, arrive home 5:45. So 18 holes of golf and you've been in your cart from 10am to almost 6pm, you've driven 32 miles plus the 5 miles during the round and you swung your golf clubs about 90 times and weathered the 90 degree heat and the ocassional rain shower. To me, that's not fun golf it's not even golf, I'd be asking to heck with the bridge, when are you building a golf course in Fenney? |
Different strokes for different folks.....we have been here over 3 years and still take the carts for most places....and yes, we even do Sunday drives (although Sunday can be any day of the week). We use the car if we leave the bubble or it's really crappy weather. One of the draws here is nature and the people you meet. Sequestered in a car with the windows up misses so much this place has to offer IMO
