That is really funny!!

I love Fenney! The different home hoices is really unique. I think it is great the patio villas have a golf cart garage option.

The walking trails and Red Fox and Gray Fox are beautiful! I am not moving because I don't want to move. But people who choose to live in Fenney are making a great choice! Rae

What's a put put?

Dam spell checker. I misspelled putt. Missed the last tee. Must of misplaced it in the parking lott.

A 1951 gas golf cart...…………………………………...

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 agree
 

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? :D

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.

Bingo - Fenney hidden secret #2

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.

Not only the liquor store, but all along the front of the store. "Special people" just do as they please.
Blocking visibility of people coming out of the store is really, really rude & dangerous.

Last time I played the Putt and Play there weren't many finished homes, as it was a construction area. Parked where I was directed and did the walk. No big deal. But my question is my neighborhood allows street parking and no signs otherwise, so does Fenney have parking restrictions? If they do the people that pa rk there are definitely in the wrong. As far as Winn Dixie is concerned parking in front is a violation.

Isn't the Big Cypress Rec Center and pool right behind the rear of the Palmetto starter shack ?

A violation of what?

Went on google earth and measured the distance from the Palmetto starter shack to the Big Cypress Rec Center parking lot - 38 feet. I learned how to use a new tool - cool.:coolsmiley:

Isn't parking in front of Winn Dixie a fire lane violation? If not it should be.

I don't know, and I agree.

That's part of the mindset I think - how can I improve my personal situation on a technicality (at best)? Parking may be allowed on the side of the street. But it seems to me that the spirit of that is that you do so if you are visiting the residence you are parking in front of. How would these people like it if multiple cars were parked up and down their street day in and day out so that the people could be nearer something that was across the highway or around the corner? The irony is that the people that do these things are the very ones that get bent out of shape when something similar effects them. I can tell you, for sure, that parking on the street on Fenney Way is not allowed because the cart paths go down both sides, and it is just that, a cart lane, not a parking lane. And on the side streets across from the Putt and Play, I have seen portable signs put out that say no parking, but they are not there all of the time.

I would not be happy if there was a constant stream of parking in front of my house. That situation should have been addressed at the onset with parking restriction signage. But it's not too late for that, and a concerted neighborhood effort could be the key to resolution.

I think the Palmetto example has been debunked. Is there other executive courses that come to mind that parking lots are not a reasonable distance away ? I have looked at a map and could not find any but I'm not that familiar with all the new courses south of 466A.

Nope.

The Mira Mesa course has parking at the Chula Vista Rec center.

Sandhill doesn’t have nearby parking. You have to park at Turtle Mound and either walk through the cart tunnel or risk crossing Buena Vista. When it opened there was a similar problem with people parking in front of homes nearby when they played the course.

Can't remember people parking their cars in front of homes to play Sandhill. if they did why don't they do it now?

Putt and Play is different, because a golf cart is not an option to play it. A lot of people drive their cars to get to it.

That is why we do not play Sandhill. Taking our pull carts thru the MMP tunnel is too dangerous.

I'm sure there is a reason they didn't provide a full size parking lot at Putt and Play just don't know what that reason could be.

Parking
 

Honestly, I think they made a mistake. The developer making mistakes is rare, but they do happen.

Have a lot of people been hurt in that tunnel? Any?

I walked through it once carrying my golf bag and a golf cart came very close to me as it sped by. That was enough for me.

This discussion reminds me of another good feature about the Fenney area.

My wife and I were walking the Loblolly golf course before it opened and we noticed that walkers (like us) would have to take the MMP from the 6th green to the 7th tee. We figured that would leave us out because no way are we going to push a cart along a MMP.

Later we were in the sales center looking at a model of the area that included the golf courses and it showed they plan to build a new asphalt path from the 6th green to the 7th tee. This path will go between the lake and the houses along Biller Circle and it will be totally separate from the dreaded MMP. We were very pleased to see this plan.
