Default No more priority pools.

I got a letter today from The Villages about my priority golf membership, informing me that the Trail Fee for executive courses was no longer included (old news). But it also informed me the priority membership would no longer include the club pools…I hadn’t heard this before. That’s a couple hundred dollars/year less value for the future priority membership. And I don’t know if the priority memberships will be increasing this year. Is it just me, or are we receiving diminishing rewards for our Village dollars and loyalty?

So do you have to purchase a pool membership as well to be able to use both.

Priority golf did not include tennis or CC pools. It has been an add on since 2010 when we first signed up for priority. Pool add on if you so chose has been $200. So only thing so far that has changed is trail fees are no longer included in priority membership

The priority membership sign up form is not on the golfofthevillages.com web site Only the credit form.

Although, they still have and they updated the country club pool section.

Priority golf included exec trail fees and CC pool. So we are getting screwed twice. BOHICA

Sorry you are incorrect, priority covered the CC Pools in the price.

The pools were not an add on. You are required to pay for the priority pools. We have our own pool and asked for a reduction and were told no you must pay.

I also received this letter. It starts out announcing a pay on line feature to start May 1 2022 for (and is spelled out as follows):

Championship Golf Membership Enhancement

Championship Tennis Membership Enhancement

Country Club Pool Membership Enhancement

Executive Golf Trail Fee

Under the " Championship Golf Membership Enhancement" section the following sentence is present in italics "It no longer Includes The Executive Golf Trail Fee or country club pools".

Could this mean that other country club pools are destined to meet the same fate as the former Hacienda Hills pool???

Priority membership included the pools for the priority member, however the spouse, if they did not play golf, could get a pool membership separately for an additional charge.

Talked to a realtor, I think the model will be to make the CC pools like the pool at Fenney Grill. Open to the public, with a bar/restaurant next door.

Yup, the realtor knows the real deal, NOT. My barber told me a different version.
