Default Sawgrass Grove

The rumor mill indicates the fabric is fine, but they forgot to put lock washers on all of the bolts, so they are having to go back and remove every single bolt on the support arms and add lock washers!

About 1 week per tarp.[/QUOTE]

The lack of Executive Golf Courses in these new areas is concerning. Many residents can’t play pitch and putt ( difficult to walk ) and putt and play is nice for visitors.

There are at least 5 more executive courses either currently being built or scheduled to be built...

Which is 5 more than they have built since at least Jan 2020, despite building like 10,000 new homes (not including southern oaks). So personally I'm pretty optimistic on the exec golf going forwards and really happy to see it.

Thanks for that information. Nice to have a dedicated walking path here in then northern part of The Villages and even nicer that the surface is conducive for those with arthritis. Can't wait to walk in the cooler months on that path.

Are there any tunnels south of 44 that tunnel under the main roads like there are north of 44?

It appears that the 2 Executive golf area's indicated to the South on the map have 2 9 hole courses each. So, that would be 5 Executive courses total on the way.
