If they had a parking lot there would be a constant line waiting to get on the course and it's not only Putting, it's lawn bowling, croquette, and catch/release fishing. Now that there are so many people living down here it is very well used without the parking lot by those who choose to use their golf cars, walk, or park at one of the pools.

The amenities from Brownwood north have parking lots to accommodate all Villages residents including those who live in Fenney. Those amenities in Fenney also belong to us north. It's a two way street.

I think they made a mistake when designing the putting course, fishing etc. They forgot to put in parking. Huge error.

Agree. It’s a long walk. Makes no sense.

Maybe a little forced exercise was purposely planned as a...Fenney hidden secret?

That's why parking is provided at both nearby neighborhood rec. centers and the fact is clearly posted. It is a two way street. If I did't have a golf car I would have to walk a little over a mile and I live in Fenney if you park in the provided areas you would only have to walk a couple hundred yards. The parking is provided just not as close as some would like.

The parking should have been closer. North of 44 the parking is much more convenient.

Well I can't get my golf cart to Fenney yet since I live north of 44. However I could park my car in a handicap parking spot (they do have those there don't they?) at the rec center and walk the mile.

It's not a mile, I stated it was a mile from my home not from the parking lots in the two nearby rec centers. It won't be long before you can bring your golf car down and enjoy the Putt and Play as well as the Chip and Putt.

Numerous executive golf courses do not have parking lots....you have to walk from a rec center. Palmetto comes to mind.

Maybe you should just wait until the bridges are completed.

I will be so glad when Fenney is connected and contiguous to the rest of us. Then the people who are critical will have to find some place new to be ugly about.

We went down to Fenney Grill for dinner a couple of weeks ago and hadn't been down Morse that far in a couple of months. We were astounded about how much earth had been moved during that short time. Those Morses have a plan and know how to follow it.

What's not a hidden secret and very much like the rest of TV, we still have the "special" people come down and make their own parking for the "Putt and Play" (not Putt Putt). For a while it was no harm done as most of the homes built across from the P&P were not yet occupied. Now many are but it doesn't stop some from parking up and down in front of those homes. I actually once saw a car (BMW convertible with the top down) parked on the side of Fenney Way in the golf cart lane directly across from the Putt and Play. The other day, I watched someone try to turn into the entrance in their car only to realize at the last minute that it is carts only. The Sugar Cane pool is not that far away and is where you are supposed to park if you want to go to Putt and Play. It's not that far of a walk and I've never seen that parking lot even near full. It seems to me that if you have the strength and energy to play the course, you can muster up enough to walk from the pool and back.

Live off 466 and I will run over to Winn-Dixie for something and see a car parked outside the liquor store part. Happens quite frequently. I am not saying that they are seasonal residents or renters.

Growing up we had a name for folks like that.

Selfish.
