Golfing on Christmas
 

The executive golf courses in The Villages will be staffed on Christmas to provide a safe and enjoyable golfing experience. Starters and ambassadors will be on site to assist Villagers and their guests with their golfing needs.

And its free!!

Only starters will be present to assist in orderly starts and assure 1 golfer is a villager. No ambassadors. No rentals or sales of any kind.

That is great! Thank you and thanks to the management for accommodating us!

Christmas golf
 

The reservation system shows no open tee times. Does that mean we can just show up and see the starter to play? First Christmas in the Villages!
Happy Christmas Eve Day!

Turn up, play any course, no booking required.
Last Christmas we were here, wife and I had a nine ball in front of us, before we went round!

Thanks!

Starters will only be at executive courses until 2:00

What does this mean(the nine ball part)?

Priority gets me great rates, don’t need the free for all on Christmas. So enjoy everyone who tries to play

Nine people playing in one group.

Complaining posts to follow; large crowds, long waits, inexperienced golfers…

So we need not reinvent the wheel here is last year's free golf discussion. Same as the year before and the year before and the year before. It is an attempt to deflect the course carnage dissertations but my intuition says no. Christmas? - it's groundhog day.

Excellent, however the carnage is REAL and began with the first group out this AM. I sat on my lanai and watched for a while as "golfers" (and I use that term loosely) took divot after deeper divot but had an allergy to the sand bottle, tramped through the bunkers with a rake allergy, drove their carts within a foot of the greens, and didn't have a clue what a ball mark was much less how to repair it. Yes, you're right---it's the same as last year, and the year before, etc. Free golf on Christmas??? Personally, based on 8 years of watching the destruction, I would charge DOUBLE today!
