"Free Golf For Life"! It's a factual statement. If you play any of TV's 20 some lovely executive golf courses, carry your bag or use a hand cart, it's free.

Saying that it's not true because residents have to pay an amenity fee is the same as saying its not true because you have to buy a house, or pay taxes, or utilities, or own golf clubs, or have transportation to a golf course, etc. More than 70 thousand folks have decided that the overall costs of living here provide an overall benefits package which is really worth it. Those who carefully compared this place to others think they got the best value-for-dollar here. Some actually think that free golf is the clincher.

If you think you are getting something for free, then you need to rethink.

dlhill: Why do you belittle someone who has created something as unique as TV and at the same time makes a profit on it? I can walk, ride a bike, play golf (if I walk...better for you anyway) and do lots of other things for free in a beautiful and safe environment. Of course, if you aren't happy you are always free to move.

I don't think the Morse family had to use any ruse to "lure" people to The Villages. People look around at retirement communities, and they look at The Villages, and they see the benefits of the Morse family's careful and meticulous planning.
