Access to golf courses was important to us too. Fortunately, they all are built and there’s a map of them (both north and south of 44, the Villages are not hiding anything). I am 5 minute golf cart ride to 27 exec holes and 54 championship holes.

Love all these arguments. Myself and my neighbors golf as much as we want… have no problems with executive courses.

Good Evening All, My wife and I have sold our home in the panhandle and are renting a home in the Villages for the month of May. Our question is about the southern end of TV. We have heard good things and not so good things about the south end. I love tennis and play 3 times a week, USTA 3.5 - 4.0, my wife is a solid 3.5. Love the game. Also played 2 man beach volleyball back in the day and want to get back into it! We are active and are looking for that type of environment. Is the south end a good choice or not? Virus or not we have made up our minds that TV is where we want to be. Give us some honest opinions if you have time and some info!!! Thanks!!!!! Tennisbum 3/2020 No mention of golf.

We played at El Diablo and 2 folks from the new Villages I think they said St. Catherine and said they rode their golf cart over an hour to play there.

Choosing tee times 7 days in advance usually get close to what you want if you choose 1or 2 courses only luck of the draw , new Villages limited by small choices to play at.

It’s 30 minutes from Duval to St Catherine and less than 20 to El Diablo, so that’s about right. Depends on cart traffic, and how many times you stop to help out the lost person stopped off on the grass

And even for those willing to pay to play Champioship courses, they have built only 1 since I have been here yet the population has increased by 40,000 people. That doesn't seem right either.

We live in Bradford south of 44. I would buy here again. There are pros and cons to every area. Pros to south of 44 are that we have wonderful, extensive, scenic multimodal trails for walking and biking everywhere. There are lots of gorgeous, brand new rec centers with courts for Pickleball, tennis, etc. homes are new, and often less expensive than pre owned homes. There will be a new type of entertainment and shopping/dining experience very soon at Sawgrass Grove. There are cute and unique places to go and see, such as Edna’s, Fenny Grill, Hogeye path, etc.. finally, when you move into a new area the folks are all in the same boat and it is super easy to make friends! Cons are that it is a longer drive to some executive courses, we are not as close to the existing town squares, and there is not great shopping down this way. So it is a trade off. I chose this area because I knew I wanted walking trails, and I use them every day. I don’t mind long golf cart rides to executive courses, and I know the new bridge and development south of here will bring even more access. I wanted a new home. But there are fantastic homes and amenities everywhere. Have fun looking!

The original message if WAY off. I live in Silver Lake and it takes ME an hour to get over Rte 44 to “the other side “. You are so wrong. You have
Palmetto - Sandhill - Turtle Mound - Volusia - ….those are ALL south of 466 a. You ride can’t be more than 30 min or so to most of them. Easy answer as my idol Judge Judy says….if you don’t like where you are…MOVE!!!! OR maybe ask The Villages if they can build you your own private course. When you bought the house, you had to know what was being done. Again MOVE! |
