Driving Range/Practice Facility
Does anybody know if TV will be building a Driving Range south of turnpike?

I would tend to doubt it. They've built 13 championship golf courses and only three have practice facilities. In addition there is the free standing range at Sarasota. The practice facilities are not very good by today's standards. I'd love to see more short game and bunker practice facilities. They've recently taken out a practice bunker at Glenview and the ones at Palmer and Lopez are a joke.
They evidently believe that The Villages golfers are not interested in practicing. The American Legion / Lion's Club Range on Rolling Acres is as good as any in The Villages except that there is no grass. I'd love to see someone build a state of the art facility. Something like this would be nice. or even this.

On the new map, it's more like a partial layout map there doesn't appear to have enough room for any extras, it's only an 18 golf course instead of 27. The last ten built have all been 27. There's only two 18 courses, now they're be three, Tierra Del Sol and Orange Blossom Hills are the other two. Looks like they've crammed the course between Meggison Road and the Florida Turnpike on the northside. |

While it's a very nice thought....

They don't even overseed anymore and the condition of greens/fairways/tees and aprons is horrendous in the winter. Just played Mira Mesa...abysmal! Little to zero fairway grass and the greens are pathetic. Won't be playing there for a loooong while. |

Those " people"'are shunned! I must say the Oak Trees over there are beautiful. It's worth the drive to see it before all the block & Concrete move in! As far as the Driving Range, things may change...

There are at least three companies that do golf cart towing fulltime. I've been with the same one since 2011, that Kart Aide, they are $59 for two years. If you used the 'search' button at the top of the site, you would read many good reviews of their service. World's Largest Golf Cart Rescue Service |

I was told by someone "connected" that TV wants to host an LPGA tournament. The hotel at Brownwood was part of the plan. A 27 hole course south of 44 was also part of the plan. They need a driving range and practice area, which don't seem to be part of the 2 new courses along the turnpike. However, at many PGA major championships, they have converted the unused 9 (of the 27) into a driving range and practice area. So, it seems that the LPGA gig is possible, but the driving range for residents is unlikely. Perhaps the next course further south will have one.
