If I have the last tee time out that day. I play very slowly ( take 42 practice swings at least 10 min to line up putts) it could be well after dark when I finish up

I live on a golf course and don't mind walkers/bikers after hours. But there should be jail time for those that do it on the street in the front of my house! Oh wait a minute that could be the same thing. Never mind.

So by that logic, everyone should be able to use the rec centers, pools, pickle ball and tennis courts when they’re closed?

The golf course and it paths are not you property but everyones. You have no control over it. Privacy back up to a wall.

Ummmm
 

Would you be so kind as to find something in FL government docs that support your statement? This could easily become a Nudist colony, if what you say is true. IMHO

Ditto here
 

We are on Cane Gardens and we see people walking their dogs on and off leash on the course..on the tee boxes..driving golf carts and bikes and walking even after dark on the cart paths..it is in total violation of golf course and village rules..this is not your playground nor your dogs potty spot..the country clubs spend a lot of time getting them to look great and then there is so much disrespect for others properties..it would be like me walking your dog behind your home at night with a flashlight...stay off the courses

No problem if you're golfing!?!

I didn't realize that is your private path. Perhaps you should ask "THE AUTHORITIES" to put up a sign alerting people of THE VILLAGES it is a golf cart path to be used only during daylight hours. That ought to do the trick, don't you think?

It is a private path, which is closed after hours, and to non-golfers. I don’t understand how difficult it is for people to comprehend that fact.

I can comprehend it, but can you enforce it? I'd love to hear your plan for that, tell me how it works out, ok?

There have been many times we have gone to an executive course after the last tee time and before the staff has left. Enough daylight left to get 3-4 holes in. Every time we have been given permission by an Ambassador.

Wow what a world. I agree they probably should not be there. But to "THROW" them off. If you haven't asked why don't you call the villages and see who would handle this. Then they can ask them/tell them they cannot be there. No violence. now if you have asked and no one has said it is wrong then you are screwed.

The Executive courses are owned/governed by the District. The Champ courses are owned by the Villages(i.e. family), and are considered private property. If after hours play is allowed, so be it, and they can play on. As for the other recreational activities, they're not allowed. Both courses are maintained(watered, groomed, etc) for golfing activity and conditions. That's why you see signs posted on golf cart trails entering courses/holes, that read "golfing traffic only". If people are seen on Exec courses(not golfing), you call Community Watch(CW). For Championship courses, you can call CW, or SCSO. CW will ask them to leave, and if they refuse, they'll call Sumter Co Sheriff's Office, and they will be issued Trespassing Notices.

Golf courses are private and not to be used after hours or for anything but golf. Call community watch and take pictures and send them to the course manager. I bought on a golf course, not a gym or a dog park. The snarky comments are so stupid. This place has rules to protect the community. If you do not like rules, do not live here! And what golf course would allow people on it with skateboards, dogs, etc? None!

Most all of the post refer to courses being private and for golf only. True but what harm does a walker, biker, or jogger do to the course, They are on the golf cart path. When you buy on a golf course you give up some of your privacy.
