So then you won’t be coming down to the southern Oakes section. That’s good since people up north have been crying for months about how unfair it is that the southern area has more amenities. Those looking to use the Fenney putt and play should park in Fenney rec center and walk instead of blocking peoples driveways and taking up all the spaces at blue herion and sugarcane pools where residents can’t even get their mail.

Why should we park at the rec center when there are plenty of golf cart parking spots available right at the putt and play now that we can get there by cart ?

Default Round trip from McClure

I made the round trip today, leaving from McClure, over the Water Lilly Bridge, then over the Brownwood Bridge. Up to Mulberry, then to Spanish Springs, over the Historic Bridge to Orange Blossom and back. Then down Morse to Rohan, over the Chitty Chatty Bridge and return home with a few stops along the way. 65 miles, about 5 hours 30 minutes casual driving.

Today we went from the south end of Corbin Trail, the southern most point via cart in The Villages. We traveled over the Water Lilly bridge into Brownwood and north as far as we could go ending at SR 42. The trip was 21.5 miles. Why? I don’t know but it was fun.

If we want to play championship course, we can simply drive up there and play one. Not rocket science.
