Mostly Free Golf
Picture this: you’re trading snowy winters for sunlit fairways—because golf in retirement should feel like a perpetual vacation. In The Villages, your resident amenity fee (around $189/month) includes complimentary golf on all Executive courses, so you can walk for free, anytime, year-round—just bring your clubs and your joy for the game (The Villages).
Now, if you want to ride around in your personal golf cart, you’re in luck—The Villages offers a Trail Pass at super reasonable rates: pay $21.20 monthly, $104.97 semi-annually, or $139.96 annually (before tax), and drive your cart on all Executive courses all you like (districtgov.org).
When it comes to Championship golf in Florida, the prices won’t scare you. Villagers enjoy automatic membership to country club facilities and get discounted green fees at a dozen Championship courses—many designed by legends like Arnold Palmer. Even the most expensive course charges less than $57 for enhanced members, and often under $40 on the most affordable courses—still a bargain for resort-quality golf .
The layout of these Executive courses is charming too—primarily par3 holes, with the occasional par4—so they’re perfect whether you’re a seasoned pro or just getting back into the swing. With meticulous care across 46 ninehole courses, the management ensures the greens and fairways always inspire a smile, not a worry (Golf The Villages).
If you’re seeking real estate in Florida that delivers unmatched value, this is it. For a modest Trail Pass cost, residents enjoy year-round golf access, flexible payment plans (monthly to annual), and locations of Executive courses scattered throughout the community—often just a quick golf-cart ride from your doorstep (districtgov.org).
In short: with mostly free golf on Executive courses, affordable Championship green fees, and a lifestyle that lives and breathes golf in retirement, The Villages stands out as a premier choice for anyone scouting real estate in Florida. You’re not just buying a home—you’re investing in a life full of sunshine, social tee times, and endless rounds of fun.
