Default Two and a half years to connect.......

Mrs. KC and I drove to Fenney this afternoon to look around to see what's been done. We found a CYV with a pool and a view and were really interested in it until we found out Fenney is not going to be connected (as the realtor called it) with a MMP to the rest of the bubble for two and a half years. We got to tour Red Fox Golf Course and it is stunning, but we love playing too many courses with our own carts to not be able to do that for that length of time.

For some I think that's the appeal of Fenny. We have friends who are buying there and the reason is it's slightly removed but still close to main campus.

What we need is a shuttle service from Brownwood and/or Burnsed Rec Center. They would be 9 passenger vans pulling trailers that could hold 4 carts. Have regular service between the 2 pickup points and the Fenney golf courses. It could also be used by the Fenney residents wanting to use their own carts north of Hwy 44.

So Fenney will not have golf cart access to the rest of The Villages until early 2020?

Yes, I visited Fenney when I was in The Villages 3 weeks ago. There was a chart in the Rec Center/Sales Office at Fenney with a timetable of when various milestones will take place. I must have missed the notice about how long it would take to get golf cart access from Fenney to the rest of The Villages.

Well ... a sales rep has spoken and we can absolutely believe it is true. Was this the same rep who said Pine Ridge and Pine Hills was the Final Phase?

Actually, it does sound believable, but the timing is TBD.

Looks like that. Think about it - building those bridges across 44 and the turnpike, building the mmp's - that is going to take a lot of time. Some people like the remoteness of Fenney and won't mind it, or, are new to The Villages and haven't experienced being able to get everywhere on their golf cart; it's just not for us at this point, maybe later.

In those two and a half years it will look like Morse south of 466a when we moved here two and a half years ago.

Well, it's about like believing 1/2 the sh!t you hear on TOTV; everyone is an expert on some topic. The sales office had a map with a timeline that showed everything that is currently in the works is to be completed in that two and a half time frame.

If they got that MMP that far in 2 and a half years I'd be really impressed. But they've impressed me before.

Well you may or may not see it this way. Several years ago and in the recent years, the emphasis was on Golf Carts, smaller more convenient units. And now,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,? The trend seems to be toward more big cars, the bigger the better, Muscle Cars, the more road traffic, the accidents, some will disagree, but that is fine. Development seems to be going away from the Carts? Do you see the Caddies, the Lincoln's and other 4500 pound units around? Well at least those buggies and all that steel does provide more protection for the people who love the Happy Multi Hours.

You see cars that are larger because that's what they retired with and they probably only have 4000 miles and in three years living in the villages the probably only have 4500 miles. So why would you get rid of a car and downsize to something smaller, it's already paid for, it's just smart money. We drive a large SUV not planning on getting rid of it. It doesn't have enough miles on it and it's an extremely comfortable car.
