Beauty of the village’s
This is the beauty of the village’s. Executive courses are rated 1-4. 4’s are most difficult. Take your choice. Roosevelt, Truman, escambie, Sandhill, turtle mound, and volusia can not be considered flat.

The Villages course designers have designed the executive courses and Championship courses with enough tee boxes to make any course as much of a challenge as you dare to take. Over the last several years, I have observed many golfers taking on more of a challenge than they can reasonably handle especially on the championship courses and occasionally on the executive courses too. Some seem to have forgotten that golf is suppose to be fun (especially at our age) instead of an ego trip turned into a frustrating activity. We have all seen it. Recently I played with a fellow golfer who played from the black tees and was cursing by the third hole because he had made two triple bogies in a row. It was more than obvious from his skill level that he was playing from the wrong set of tees. It wasn’t fun for him or us who were playing, not only for fun, but from the correct set of tees. There are more than enough hills, sand, water and tee boxes on the The Villages golf courses to be a challenge and for all to have fun. Fore!

There are more executive courses than championship but the courses are definitely not flat.

Short but NOT flat at all
They are wavy with lots of rock, pond, landscape and sand trap opportunities. They are a challenge, beautiful and lots of fun !

That said, as many commented, fl is not like her tn topography. But I’d suggest she try Roosevelt or Truman next time here. Then there is volusia, escambia, okeechobee that have some more hilly holes but I don’t believe there difficulty is rated as high as Truman/Roosevelt (going from memory tho, fyi).

This is Central Florida
When one plays golf in Florida they can expect to play on flat courses. Whether you play on Executive Courses or Championship courses the topography is generally flat.
I don't know why your non-Villages acquaintance would come here to play golf if she doesn't care for the par three and/or flat courses. There are golf courses here for every level of play and for over 100,000 golfers this works just fine. Quote:

Not all the courses are flat. Truman and Roosevelt, Volusia, Escambia, Okeechobee, are some Exec. courses that have hills. Many of the championship courses are relatively flat but some, including Orange Blossom and Mallory have some hills. One explanation for so many hole in ones are the multiple tee boxes with the forward tees on many of the Executive course par 3's being between 50-90 yards.
