Do not book a trip here as a guest if you are trying to play golf. The 40 executive courses fill up and you cannot make a tee time until you arrive. We are flying to Florida to stay at the villages, but cannot play ANY of the Executive courses.

Your first thought should always be, "Heck yea! I pay an HOA to rock out!"
Dudes are good.
What a lovely, hard rocking community The...
Read moreThe Villages Florida is everything you hope it will be and more! When we moved here it was so much better than we'd hoped, I think it took a couple of years before we stopped waiting for some kind of glitch or hitch that we'd possibly overlooked because it truly felt and feels to this day (6 Years later) that we're living a dream!!! It's the best thing we EVER did! Something for everyone here. You don't have to be a golfer, you don't have to be a social butterfly, you can live your own dream your own way in the most beautiful, well kept community anywhere! Imagine living in beautiful Disney World, that's what it's like!! Please give this a like if you found my...
