I know some folks kept their original drivers licenses from up north so they appeared to be out of the area. Not condoning it, just stating a fact.

I can understand having an out-of-state drivers license (even a real one) many snowbirds live close to TV during the winter months. How do you get an in-area pass? I never heard of this pass.

To answer the OP, Lakeside Landings appears to have well built homes for the money. It's a matter of personal preference as some prefer a "smaller community".

Some people prefer to have more home for their money and not live in a big community.

I have run into several people who have lived outside TV and they come here for events, and to visit restaurants.

Could it be that some people want to have their cake, and eat it too?

Being a city boy, I like to be where the action is. IMHO

To each, his/her own.

Clearly no other community has the amenities and activities available in TV. That being said, not everyone desires those amenities or activities. There are many attractive retirement communities in central Florida, but only one The Villages.

We drove a street legal golf cart so we could hit the squares and golf courses when we wanted. But I can't say enough about the pool, huge, pretty and family friendly.

Is there a pool?
I'd like to know more about the pool.

This question is for anyone--I just used your info, sorry. How does one from Lakeside Landing qualify for the In-Area guest ID. Is it not in Sumpter, and therefore ineligible for a pass?? We have way too many golfers for the courses we have now. My group of 4 has already been shut out twice just since October, and we have low points.

I believe non Villagers can call same day for available tee times without needing to be a guest. The guy who wrote the book about TV also puts out periodic info on alternatives to TV. His latest was on Lakeside Landings and he talked about this golf option. I am an avid golfer and find no alternative better than TV for golf, plus the rest of what TV offers is unmatched, IMHO.

We were an exception because my in-laws were residents so we qualified for in area guest pass. I have lived in TV for two and a half years now and as a guest for the previous five and we NEVER were shut out of any tee time. Maybe we are more flexible on our courses and times, I guess.

Seriously? There many courses nearby that are another level of quality compared to TV courses.(Stone Creek, Candler Hills, Juliette Falls) Just can't get there by golf cart.
