Default Three cushion billiards tables

I am looking for a billiard hall that has a three cushion billiards table to play on. I have tried online to look at billiard parlors with no luck. Anyone out there know of any? Thank you in advance.

Saddle brook rec center has pool tables. Not sure if they are what you are looking for.

Almost every village rec center (VRC, not Regional) has 6 or 8 standard 9-foot pool tables. Sterling Heights has a 12 foot snooker table and Chula Vista has a 10 foot snooker table. There are no 3-cushion billiards tables in The Villages. Also, I don't think there are any nearby billiard halls that have a 3-cushion table.

They might also call it "Carom Billiards" that's what they call it in NYC. Haven't seen it in The Villiages

Where is the 12' snooker table at Saddlebrook? It's not in the billiards room.

Probably there’s not enough pool players that have an interest in one. That probably why there’s only 2 Snooker tables in TV, there’s probably only maybe 20 people that play Snooker, most of them are English that play. I shoot pool but I don’t think I ever heard of a 3 cushion pool table, sorry!

Suggest the OP join a Billiards Club here and see how many players would be interested in Carom. Sign a polite petition with 20+ signatures and make a plea to John Rohan. Like Snooker, one table in a new Rec. Center might be added.
That's how we got TWO Woodshops built.

Overall, The Villages has more than 150, 9-foot pool tables and 2 snooker tables. I think a 3-cushion table would be nice, but I don't know if it would get much play. It needs to be a 10-foot table, so it won't fit in the normal space for a 9-foot table. Also, to be a high quality table, it needs to have a heating system for the slate bed.

Three cushion? Is there a drop off on the fourth side. Ball drops and hits the floor, you lose??? Like the flat Earth thing with a ship?
