We just moved here last week, my wife doesnt like to golf just yet. Are there leagues or list of people who do not want to golf alone? I see a men's day but I'm not sure how that works.

I did sign up for a class next Friday to learn how to use the TT system. Thanks in advance. Bryan

I’ll be moving there in two weeks. I’m guessing I’ll be flying solo for a little while until I find some people.

Unless you form your own group of four, you will always be playing with strangers.
My wife and I loved the system. We met loads of great people, also a few grumps, but nearly always had an enjoyable game.
Over many years, we also met several long-lasting friends, whom we still keep in touch with.
It really will not be a problem, and the bonus is, that as a single player T times will be easier to find.
Enjoy.

That is one of the positives about snowbird season. My wife and I don't belong to any groups so when the 'birds are here it is a given that we'll be playing with two strangers, often snowbirds. It has nearly always been an enjoyable experience. We've played in groups with folks from Mexico, South America, Canada (many), The UK, Sweden, and others, as well as many Americans, TV'ers and Non TV'ers. Interesting to hear their opinions on things.

It will be very rare to play alone. They will put you in with another single, twosome, or threesome. 99% of the people that they put you with will be nice but about 10% will be pretty good, 40% will be decent golfers, and 50% will be bad golfers. I am surprised at how many people never played golf until they got to the Villages.

If you want to play alone, try to get a tee time between noon and 2 pm this time of year!

I enjoy meeting new people every week that I golf. The stories of how the different lives and paths people took to get here is interesting.

[MrChip72]

I have a group that I golf with once a week, and then I also usually book tee-offs solo a couple other days of the week. I'm usually paired up with 2-3 other people where most of the time they booked as a group of three. I've never had a group that I really disliked much at all. Usually I end up enjoying having a little small talk with people from another part of the country (or even another country). Everyone is pretty friendly.

The one regular group that I golf with, I actually met when I booked a solo tee-off and they thought I was fun to golf with, plus their buddy just had knee surgery so they needed someone to take his weekly spot for awhile. I've been golfing with them for about a year, and I haven't really asked in a long time how their buddy's knee is coming along.

Ask around in the neighborhood you will be in. Our neighborhood has a larger organized group that plays on Wednesdays.

[sdeikenberry]

I run a men's 18 hole championship golf group on Wednesday and Friday mornings. Some guys play both days, some one day. We play early...0730 tee times. It doesn't matter if you're a good golfer or not as long as you can keep up the pace of play. We play all champ courses and have members from all over TV. We don't take ourselves too seriously but we do play by USGA rules of golf with some local rule changes. We kick in $5 for prize money each round. We use a quota system and you play against your own quota, so all players are on an even playing field. We have lunch and payouts at the country club we play at. It's a fun group of guys who have golfing abilities all over the map...it doesn't matter if you are a high or low handicapper. IF you want more info email me and I'll send you a couple PDF's about our group. If you want to try the group I'm happy to put you in a time or two. If you stay long term we ask you get priority membership because that gives us priority tee times and over a year's time if you play 1.5 times a week you'll come out ahead on the cost of priority. Want more info? Let me know at sdeikenberry@gmail.com

If you pay the $8 a month to use the online golf system, you can put yourself in any group that has 1 or 2 openings, up to the night before.
After living here for a few years, there are so many people that golf in the pickleball/tennis/card groups that you will be playing with that you can join or create your own group to play everyday each week with these people. Also, check out your local village website, they usually have 1 or more golf groups (we have 2 for example).

I would be interested in playing once or twice a week, early. I am a priority golfer. I would like to join a group of 3 to 4 would be great and a ready golfer.

sign her up for a group lesson and then WAIT.

[NoMo50]

Ask around in your neighborhood. There is a good chance there is a group that gets together on a regular basis. Also, as you meet new people and make new friends, you will invariably find folks to golf with. My wife and I both took up the game after moving here, and we each now golf 3-4 times per week with various groups, in addition to going out as a couple or with another couple.

[Judiland]

The Villages Golf Club welcomes couples and singles who enjoy playing 18 holes of golf. We play outside TV twice a month within an hours drive. Nice way to meet others.

I'm available to play at least once a week. I'm not priority at the moment but I have thought about it. Still getting used to things, just my second week here.
