we spoke to the villages golf carts t spanish springs. we aked if we were to buy a new cart from you, spending $15k and a home in Fenny, could we have the use of a rental cart for free, for golf, while we wait for the mmp's to be built. Sharon Starr, the golf cart sales person, said, good question....Emailed and asked the upper people, they came back with a firm NO, they stated they did not want to start any presidence that would allow fenny people a complimentary cart, free of charge, even thought they purchased a brand new cart from them.

they would however rent a cart for 3 hours for $5 so you could play golf, or $6 championship..but only if one was available.

so there ya go...from the horses mouth.

we also went to lunch and stopped by the sales center at fenny. We asked to see the maps that detailed the 2 1/2 year mmp operations that everyone seems to be mentioning. There were none. The signs show future plans and dreams, but nowhere did it ever indicate a time frame.....

Just setting the record straight. So 1 year, 2 years, 3 years...never?.....that is up to everyones individual interpertations....

Other than going to Publix at Denton Plaza, getting across 44 in a golf cart is going to acomplish what? It's 5 miles from Fenney to 44, it's 11 miles from 44 to Cane Garden. Who's going to drive 16 miles in a golf cart each way to play Cane Garden? Give or take a mile or two, Evans Prairie, Mallory, Havana subtract 3, Palmer add 3. Other than Bell Glade and Bonifay I don't see it as all that great to be able to drive from Fenney to TV to play golf.

Once they have that golf cart bridge built they'll probably have new homes built within a mile of 44, that takes away about 4 miles. So if you're a golfer and want to drive your cart to the course, and want a newer, bigger, better, pool, whatever house, wait the 3 years and you can get 4 or 5 miles closer and newer home in Fenney. Although it will have different village name and probably cost more.

we own property in Hillsboro.....every opportunity I get I spend up here.....and I take the golf cart everywhere. We actually went to Bealls, Lowes and Walmart yesterday. Just for the heck of it..... Were retired and we think driving golf carts is a whoot!!!..... It may take us extra time but we take it everywhere....

I can see my self driving the golf cart from Fenny to Spanish Springs all the time.....just cause I can...

Simple pleasures are the best......

Well, Monday it was up on a board that was at the end of the table that shows the layout to Fenney. I sure as %$#@ didn't dream it up.

I can see your point, it's a Sunday drive 2.0 with the golf cart. Every chance you get, so you're not fulltime in TV. I'm have lived here for 6+ years fulltime and the fun of a Sunday ride in the cart wore off by year two for my wife and three for me. I'm partial to air conditioning and a radio and my wife heaven forbid the wind blow her hair. I was mostly referencing the golfer, since they have no courses in Fenney.

Just imagine you have a 11:56 teetime at Cane Garden. I've gone to Lopez twice in a cart myself and it was 55 minutes each way and I'm only driving 11 miles from Tamarind Grove. The third time I played Lopez I drove my car and rented a cart. Back to my scenario, you've loaded up the clubs in the Village of Fenney for your 16 mile cart ride to Cane Garden, teetime 11:56, better allow 90 miles for travel plus add check-in time and practice putting, I'll leave at 10am.

Arrive Cane Garden 11:30, go pay and putt and tee off at 11:56. Finish round at 4:15, no time for the 19th hole, head back to Fenney 90 minutes, arrive home 5:45. So 18 holes of golf and you've been in your cart from 10am to almost 6pm, you've driven 32 miles plus the 5 miles during the round and you swung your golf clubs about 90 times and weathered the 90 degree heat and the ocassional rain shower. To me, that's not fun golf it's not even golf, I'd be asking to heck with the bridge, when are you building a golf course in Fenney?

Different strokes for different folks.....we have been here over 3 years and still take the carts for most places....and yes, we even do Sunday drives (although Sunday can be any day of the week). We use the car if we leave the bubble or it's really crappy weather. One of the draws here is nature and the people you meet. Sequestered in a car with the windows up misses so much this place has to offer IMO

To see how successful Fenny will be, let’s see how it’s resale’s will sell. Probably within 6 months from now at least one will be on the market.

A house in Pine Ridge beat that record already. But did someone become too ill to make that happen or possibly die just shortly after buying their house. There are more than one reason why a home goes up for sale soon after purchasing

Grasshoppers, don't worry! I see the fenny being the center of the villages or even considered the north side in the future. Once they get between the interstates nothing stopping building out to north Orlando (highway 50).
