Yes it is necessary because often others will reply before your post actually gets posted.

2. Tee times after 4PM on championship courses (country clubs) called the third wave (formerly call twilight golf) 9$ with a resident ID and 11$ for guests for nine holes. I am certain this is a summer rate but what a deal.

3. Cody's 2-1 drinks 11-7 PM = 2 Long Island Ice teas 9$ or many others. Ask your waiter or waitress to bring them one at a time or they will bring two at once. Live music on the patio 5-8 PM.

4. Favorite restaurant Mezza Luna Italian was very good food including Pizza for a reasonable price with incredible service. They are located in Colony shopping center which is accessible by golf car. Fabian the manager will thank you for supporting them.

5. JJ golf cart rental not only delivered and picked up the golf car but we called about adding an eighth day and they said no problem and no charge. 88$ for 7 days late model Yamaha gas.

6. Prorated trail pass through the sales office or on TV.net for the days we were visiting 20$ prorated for my wife and I meant no cost to take cart on Executive courses.

7. Fishing, I didn't catch anything however I did see a 3 foot snake, multiple gators, great scenery, and conversations with local fisherman working some of the ponds. 11$ for three days at Walmart for the license.

8. Canoes free with a library card Lake Miona park. Call the library for Sumter county located in TV for information. Canoe, paddles and life vests checked out for use free can't beat that deal.

9. Russell Stover candy outlet store, look it up and stop in worth your time. Finish the visit off with a Salted caramel sundae for 4$ you will not be dissappointed.

10. Crystal River beautiful water rented tandem kayak for three hours 40$. Manatee gather here during certain times of the year and I would love to return for that. The water , scenery and the work out was worth it especially finished off with daily caught fresh catches served at the Crab Plant restaurant.

11. Golf car rides from 7-8 PM every evening to Brownwood or Sumter..Priceless

12. Before the visit I saw that pools were limiting time. We never saw this and visited the Fernandina pool every day. Sign said 41 person limit on the gate we never saw more than 15.

13. Open Houses every day for you to pursue your dream home. Do not think TV realtors will be objective just appreciate their well rehearsed responses and there is never any pressure.

Just my opinions not a paid sponsor. Have a great day!

The 41 number on pool occupancy was before COVID, now 10 - 15 and I’ve been told request 1 hour stay. I don’t use pools as I have my own. Also there are much better Italian restaurants that or golf cart accessible then Mezzanine Luna, that is why owner/manager thanks you for your support. Glad you enjoyed ur visit but remember when you return to purchase the sales reps may not be as helpful. They work for the developer and have a single purpose - SELL NEW HOMES south of 44.

It is Thevillages.net for tee times.

Our neighborhood pool usually has 10 people or less and they are nicely distanced. In any case never been anyone to tell folks to leave after any period of time.

Based on this post we tried Mezza Luna tonight and was very pleased. The food was delicious, the staff were very friendly and the service excellent. Thanks

Cannot wait for that to come back. Been here 6 months now and know and have seen a lot but so much more to be seen.

I corrected thevillages.net I originally put it in as TV.net because I wasn't sure I was allowed to spell it out. Glad someone enjoyed Mezza Luna we certainly did. Next visit I have to try the trolley tour have heard many times how good it is. Thanks Everyone!
