I grew up in the country..My parents' home had 10 acres of land, and we were sided by farm pastures, so I was used to the quiet and I still enjoy it, so I can appreciate the poster's desire to have a quiet home. However if you're looking for a quiet space buying a home that's close to a club/saloon doesn't seem like a good choice. It's sort of like buying a home next to a fire station and then being upset every time the firehouse siren goes off.

Sometimes the weather is a factor. We are in Caroline. Most times we can barely hear the group at LSL. But when the weather is dry and/or there is a north wind, the sound carries to the extent we can hear it inside the house.

I love hearing it off in the distance as I do.......closer, probably not. But, I know I would have looked at all the angles before buying or building.

I once lived in a home with railroad tracks literally right thru the backyard. I got used to it and loved it after a while.

Aren't you glad you asked?
Try calling the Sumter County Sheriff's office.............

I once lived in a college town. The next door neighbor rented his property to a Frat House. Then we had a Garage Band move in across the street. Then there was the boom-boom music from the cars going by all day. We came to TV for peace and quiet because we are shell-shocked and trying to recover.

That's when a GOOD band is playing, not the weather.

I also had one realtor say: What bugs!

If you read the thread that Gracie linked to in post #9, you will see that a similar situation regarding outdoor music at Havana CC played out in 2009. And if you skip to the last couple of pages in that thread you will see that the end result was Sumter County officials decreed that the music was permissible until 10pm as long as it stayed within the ordinance decibel limitations.

Rodie, sorry you're not able to enjoy quiet possession of your property. However unless you got something in writing from Village Officials, I hear the sound of moving trucks in your future. There are probably lots of potential buyers who would enjoy the convenience of living close to Bonifay.

Good anology.

If the original lease did not specifically prohibit music outdoors then there is nothing that can be done. The Havana lease did not allow outdoor music and that is what finally ended the music. As far as Bonifay is concerned, until what 'wee hours of the morning' is this music being played? I bet it is not after 9 pm!

I know I said I was done with this topic but, I've been there on music night and music afternoon. There is a LARGE crowd which brings in money for Bonifay and the Developer.The band sets up under the covered portion between the restaurant and the pro shop by the front entrance. The speakers point over toward the pro shop. I've sat at the far end seats at the bar and the music is NOT loud.It stops by 8:30 at night at the latest. As for you being told no music, well the people behind the new Medical Center on 466A weren't told that was coming and now there are 2 more coming. As others have said you buy by an airport the planes are noisy, you buy by a fire house the siren blows, you buy by a golf course you get golf balls.The squares play until 9PM and draw a lot more noise then the clubs do. I wish all the clubs played music as long as it stops before 9PM I don't see a problem. If you had a noisy neighbor or one who watched TV outside he to has a curfew and as long as the curfew is followed and the decibel level is where it belongs they're legal.

Threads like these are great to read when you do not live in TV.
You learn a lot.
It will help me a lot if I make the big move one day.
This lurker thanks you all for all of your postings and many views.

[billethkid]

the useful info is make note of what is around where you choose to live.

A complaint tlike this in no way should have an effect on the decision to move to TV because it only represents less than half of one percent of 90,000 folks.
The other 99.75678 of us think the way it is is fine.

You want to be on a golf course, near a country club, near a pool near a paddle ball court or even a railroad track....you are opting in for what comes with such a decision.

By the way if it is in the wee hours of the morning you can bet it ain't a Villages owned, operated or leased establishment.

Enjoy the fact that you are still vertical and able to hear and if it is really unbearable do like so many other residents....now that you are educated in the lifestyle, move to a location that suits your needs.

The problem with that analogy is that you pretty much know that airports, fire stations, etc. will create noise. However, if one were to do due diligence about noise/music at the country clubs around TV, one could easily believe that outdoor music is not allowed. While I'm not familiar with every country club in TV, I can only think of one that has outdoor music, Mallory, and it seems to be only during the "happy hour" time of day. All other clubs that I'm familiar with (including Havana) either have no music or have it indoors.
