Actually kind of glad the pool fee isn’t included, maybe the CC pools won’t be as crowded.

Having dined at Evans Prairie many times, I can count on one hand the times I've seen more than several people in the pool. In fact the majority of times I've not seen a single soul in the pool.

Priority golf did not include tennis or CC pools. It has been an add on since 2010 when we first signed up for priority. Pool add on if you so chose has been $200. So only thing so far that has changed is trail fees are no longer included in priority membership

The question I have now. Can you buy just a priority pool membership?

The new rates are posted online. Go to “Golf the Villages” website, look under “priority membership”.
It appears the pool and trail fees will add almost $400 to the $925 household priority membership.

You are 100% correct. We have been subject to constant annual rate increases, 7% this past year due to sales tax not being included in the rates. The developer has increase the time that the highest rates apply and now they are asking for an additional $392 to keep the same benefits. I don't think the understand what it means to be living on a fixed income. They are driving away many who can no longer afford these ridiculous increases. I, for one, will no longer be purchasing an annual priority membership.

At the current savings of $17/ round on CC courses, you would have to play 83 rounds in a year between the 2 of you to break even, or less than 1 round/week. If you both play 2 rounds/week there would be a savings of 52x4x17=$3536 less the $1409 or net $2127----plus you get to play all of the exec golf you want at no additional charge and then relax at a pool. Hardly a value that has gone to "less than zero".
