It's the grassy area between the north and southbound lanes of the Turnpike.

That was so good that a smiley would have ruined it.

Without the smiley, it’s just another bashing post.

Bashing? Really? How about just pointing out the idiocracy of someone travelling south of 44 in search of a non-existent golf course.

That someone uninformed. On here for three years and not read one post on where that golf will be.

Funkman 04-26-2020 05:22 PM

I can say with almost 100% certainty that the first fairway on the course will be to the left of my first drive.

No, it will to the right of my drive. Most of them are...

You need to aim further left, whenever I do that for some strange reason that is when I hit a rare straight shot. Go figure.

If you go to thevillages.com there's an announcement about the new Village of Bradford and a map showing a future championship golf course just south of the villages.

Here is a picture of only part of the course. At least it gives you the general location.

Bruce Carlson 04-27-2020 05:21 AM

It is supposed to be just north of the Okahumka Service Area (Rest Stop) along the Florida Turnpike East of Warm Springs Ave.

Rwirish 04-27-2020 05:24 AM

Good luck trying to find it. Was told that it would be completed by the end of 2019 and now it looks like a couple of years down the road.

One 18 hole Championship Course and no additional Executive Courses in the works. Move houses, less golf, makes sense.

Right next to the new Country Club you silly Person.

DanBrew 04-27-2020 06:23 AM

To stop the slice, move your right hand to the right, flex your left knee a bit more, relax your glutes totally, inhale in the back swing (after you have slowed it down of course), and exhale on the down swing. Now, be certain to accelerate just prior to striking the ball, or in your mind acceletate after hitting the ball, and oh yea, look at the ball with your left eye only. Regardless of what happens after all of the alterations, drink beer.

Dave Laluk 04-27-2020 06:25 AM

I'm still wondering how people south of the Turnpike will get golf cart access to this future championship course. Go all the way up through Brownwood and back around???? Another future bridge over the turnpike? Unfortunately, golf is a declining sport and the new developments seem to reflect that trend.

Bikeracer2009 04-27-2020 06:48 AM

We're keeping the location a secret so the folks up north don't take all of the tee times. It's an amazing course! Play it every chance I get.

Guitarman1951 04-27-2020 07:23 AM

Golf course. What golf course!?

. Golf course, you don't get no new stinking golf course!! Can you say, bait and switch, shell game or "you must of misunderstood us"!!!!😂😂😂😂

Sunflower1 04-27-2020 07:37 AM

If you are going south on Morris/Warm Springs, it is right on the south side of the big church. It is under construction.

Another bridge over the turnpike will be built next to the existing cattle bridge, south of the service plaza. It will enable vehicles and golf carts to cross.

The existing cattle bridge just south of the plaza is planned to be converted to cart use.

" The second Turnpike bridge will be built a few miles to the south near the Okahumpka Service Plaza. This pathway will connect both golf cart and vehicle traffic to future areas, including land recently acquired in Leesburg."

Life in The Villages

This would also give the new Villages north of the turnpike access to amenities to the south.

WHAT!?? Golf a declining sport? Say it isn't so, or the multitudes who moved here to take up the game just might think you're serious.:duck:

History has not repeated itself. The first new homes for sale south of 466A were model homes on Braddy Ct. in Sanibel in August 2011. Bonifay CC courses Ft. Walton and Destin opened two months later in October and Pensacola opened nine months later due to delays caused by a flood.

Do you live south of the Turnpike?

Chitty Chatty on the other side of the FL Turnpike

I'm sorry, jokes are not allowed in the coronavirus era. You must be shamed!

Cars and carts, why wouldn’t that be an OVERPASS? Bridges like the ones already here make no sense to me. It would have to be a pretty substantial bridge to put cars on it. Who’s designing it? Someone impressive I hope

RayAmb 04-27-2020 10:28 AM

YOU ASKED A GOOD QUESTION. MANY OTHERS HAVE ASKED THE SAME THING ABOUT MANY THINGS SOUTH OF 44. It is obvious that The Villages has two different models of lifestyle. Did someone die and someone else take over????

bumpygreens 04-27-2020 10:44 AM

The Villages is getting ahead of the curve planning for future generations of retirees. Fewer golf courses and restaurants to leave room for safe spaces and tattoo parlors.

UpNorth 04-27-2020 12:01 PM

Maybe Disc Golf? Never tried it, but seems to be very popular with the younger crowd. Plenty of videos on YouTube. Looks interesting. Natural environment and very low maintenence.

They will announce the location when they determine the location of a third bridge to reach it ! ;)

Developer has a handle on exactly what new buyers want. Have you noticed only 2 of the 9s are open on champions now. Tons of tee times, since January. We have been coming since 07, and have never seen the championship this slow. The draw south is the bike, running, walking trails with out a golf cart trying to pass you. Our children is the next generation buying here. They rarely play golf, but are very happy with the green space, and said definitely buying in the new area. They are 30 to 40 already looking to buy here.
