Ms. Ruszala was incorrect in her letter about golf
Ms. Ruszala is incorrect in that golf is free in The Villages. Depending on the course and the time of year, the charge for golfing on championship courses ranges from $26 to $75. The only golf courses where it is free are executive courses. However, there is a $4 fee for using your golf car.
Letter writer missed out on value of golf to The Villages
Ms. Ruszala writes that golfers should pay more and she shouldn’t because she doesn’t golf. Ms. Ruszala doesn’t say how much her property value has gone up on her home because of people buying here because of golf. I don’t golf either or use the pools or recreation centers, but I know that’s why people will keep coming here and my home will keep going up in value.
