Did anyone see the article today in the VillageX-News about the new Hammock Oaks development on SR-466 and Cherry Lake Rd (Lady Lake) questioning about using the Villages golf facilities?

I thought that if you were a non-resident that resided in Lady Lake, Sumter, or Marion counties that you were not allowed to golf in The Villages?

I don't think there are any restrictions on the championship courses.

Non-residents need to have a guest pass in order to golf the executives. Those in the counties you listed are only allowed to obtain a guest pass if they are a close relative of a resident.

Unless something changes, it would seem that Hammock Oaks people will only have access to the championships unless they happen to be close relatives.

The ad states: • You have your choice of 80+ golf courses in The Villages to practice your swing.

Last I checked, TV does not have 80+ championship courses. I'm wondering if TV legal dept is looking into this.

There aren’t 80+ golf courses in the Villages for the residents, even if you count putting and pitch and put courses. Non residents can only play the Championship courses at rates that don’t compete with courses outside the bubble. Sounds like blatant false advertising.

The ad I read stated choice of 80+ golf courses in THE AREA. There are many golf courses OUTSIDE of the Villages.

They are riding TV regarding 'free nightly entertainment and shopping' at Spanish Springs as well.

From the ad linked in the article referenced in post #1:

• You have your choice of 80+ golf courses in The Villages to practice your swing.

I understand the ad said practice your swing in the villages. However, I think they may have changed the wording to choice of 80+ golf courses in THE AREA. I did not see an ad referencing villages golf when I checked their website.

Go to the article referenced in post #1, click the link found in the article, what I quoted is the fourth bullet under The Community -> Our Location (it is there as of right now)

The statement is not true, but it is the statement in the ad.

IF any of you took the time to fully read it you would know that Ryan homes, while mentioning a lot about the villages never said that hammock oaks can use the golf courses. It just said area golf courses NEAR the villages.

read next time without interpreting. face it if someone bought over there why the heck would they want to be in here?

Perhaps you should re-read what it said and "read without interpreting"?

They were contacted & they changed the wording.

The sky is no longer falling in TV.
