I find it so odd that some people think they are members of a golf course restaurant. Very strange.

I don’t think anyone thinks they are members of a CC course, or restaurant in TV.

Now if you are a member at Oakland Hills, in beginning buy in was $50,000 now close to quadruple. Plus you must spend $300 plus a month in restaurant, or you pay that $300 every month. That is a true exclusive membership, that a guest 18 hole round is $250 plus caddy.

Guessing most would remember paying those fees, for the privilege of being a member at a country club

The "Country Clubs" in TV are not private. If you are envisioning the private country clubs where one has to be a member to be welcome, you are understandably confused.
There are no memberships to the country clubs. They are open to anyone. As far as green fees go for the golf, there are various rates depending upon your status. Are you a resident? Are you a "priority member"? Are you a guest of a resident ? Are you none of the above? The answer to those questions will determine your greens fee, as well as your accessibility, however, there is no answer that would automatically exclude you from playing.
As far as the restaurant, to my knowledge, you can walk in and they will seat you, serve you, be nice to you, and accept your money.
As far as the pools, I don't know. I think you need to be a Priority Member, with an add-on fee to use the pools. I'll defer to someone else to explain that, or to correct me, or expand on my understanding.

Fast forward to 2024, Middleton will be taking shape, with new shopping and venues. No matter how you look at it the Developers have continued to make people happy, and selling more house’s in a month than any other community.

Once sawgrass opens its music venue, it will like Edna’s, a place to locally stop for a snack, drink and some music. Difference is at Sawgrass when it pours down rain you have a large building to go to. Edna’s not so much.

Your comment made me think of this..........I never thought of this but I would bet the restaurants and shops in the squares don't mind when it "pours down rain" because that drives the crowds into their venues.

You should experience a country club at least once. The Villages' country clubs are the opposite of "stuffy". They are really casual and fun. Sometimes there is live music and it is a lovely thing to sit outdoors in the cooler months and take in the beautiful views of the golf courses.

Priority use to include the priority pools and trail fees. They are not included anymore. Anybody can purchase a pool membership without people having priority golf.

That's not it. I looked it up. The name of the golf course is Rolling Hills Country Club and you are correct.....it is in Davie, Florida.

I did know that the Priority Membership used to include the country club pools (as well the trail fees), but I did not know that you can now purchase a pool membership separately from the priority membership.
I get the Priority Membership for golf when I am in TV, and have never used a CC pool. I wonder why anyone would pay extra to use a CC pool when there are pools all over TV already included in the amenity fee.

With our enhanced golf membership (priority until 4/22 that included pools) we continue to add pool enhancement. Have always used CC pools, taken our guests, since 2010. The pools are larger, deeper, and have Ability to get a drink, or food, less people, is just convenient for us.
