Welcome Dinch!

Nothing, other than saying I wish I was down there to give you a game. We'd have to negotiate the strokes but...

I've only played Havana in April and it was not very busy at that time. I can imagine that it gets slightly more crowded in Nov. but I'm sure you can get out. I think you'll like Havana from the back tees. Not long but shot placement is key to score well. The greens are still a little immature (I think it has been open less than a year) but they are probably getting better all the time.

If you are going to be there next May give me an e-mail and I'd love to get out. As long as you don't mind playing with a 10!

for what its worth.....having received various opinions to my original question here....i sent an email to the TV golf web site asking the question

took two emails to finally get an answer and in the end....they bailed out and sent the email to the sales office

they phoned me and stated without question...that on a lifestyle visit, you can choose championship or executive course to each of the two free gold outings you get.....beyond the two free golf outings, you can play a championship course in a fee basis, but....you ABSOLUTELY CANNOT play an executive course on a fee basis, using your lifestyle card, unless you are a guest of a resident.

Thanks Tank - I guess there is a difference between a preview guest and a resident guest. It wouldn't be very hard to get a resident guest card from someone since they are free though.

I understand that my wife and I will both have to purchase a "Resident ID" at a price of $50 each while visiting TV. We are renting a home in Sabel Chase privately in November. Otherwise, one of us may be restricted as to some of the facilities we can use.

Could someone please help me better understand the system. Is one resident ID per family needed for the extent of our stay, or is one ID per person required to play golf, go to the pool, etc.

Thanks for any info you can give me.

Dinch,

It is one $50 fee for the household, not for each guest. You pay a one time $50 fee, the owners "turn in" their resident IDs, and you and your wife now assume their resident privileges. This entitles you to resident fees for golf, movies, etc.

Yes you can rent golf clubs at TV. I played with a guy that rented clubs and he was returning them to one of the courses south of Sumter Landing. I think it was Havana but you can check into that. But you can definitely rent clubs a at least one of the courses. On your lifestyle visit you will get 2 executive and 2 CC courses. Enjoy!

We came on a LSV the last week of April and I requested two rounds at a Championship course during our seven day visit. They said due to the snowbirds I only got one round at Cain Garden (Championship) and one round at Heron (Executive). I was a little disappointed but as it turns out it's good to see a little bit of everything.

April wasn't that long ago, and yet we sold our house in Baltimore in May in just one day, closed on our Courtyard Villa in Tamarind Grove on July 5th. Since early August I've played all four of the championship courses this side of 466 twice, I've been able to hit all 27 holes on the four courses. Today I played Bacall which was my sixth executive course. It's fun seeing everything.
