I've completed 6 one hour lessons with Nicole Gerome. I've had a huge improvement from absolute no…read morenothing to being able to golf with confidence and humor around The Villages. I'll be totally honest. I had next to no interest in the game but with so many golf courses here, well, I was missing out on important social opportunities and quality time with husband and friends. So let's give it a shot . Nicole listened and did not try to convince me how awesome golf is, instead we just worked together on skills and I asked questions about the game. She answered simply and I listened. I started playing golf and sort of held my own in the beginning and now I consider myself " not half bad" and enjoy playing. Whenever people say, whoa, nice shot, I always say I had a great teacher. Thank you, villages academy, you have a great instructor in Nicole.

Signed up for a one hour golf lesson at the Sarasota Practice Center, but they told me the wrong…read moretime and even wrote the time wrong down on the reminder card. I show up at the time I was told and show them my reminder card and of course nothing can be done about it. They apologized and told me I could come back in a few hours or rebook. The mistake was entirely their fault. Initially it took 20 minutes to book the lesson because they were using a new computer system that no one was good with, only for them to give me the wrong lesson time. Clearly they need to have a better tutorial on their computer system, as it was an overall huge waste of time. It's too bad. I had heard good things about The Villages and was looking forward to a golf lesson -- but it's expensive and they can't even work their own computer lesson booking system. Perhaps it was an honest mistake, but I was so turned off by the whole thing I didn't even bother rebooking.

I removed most of it. The throttle worked while we were carrying it home. We were told a price of about $60 with tube and labor, over the phone. 45 mins tops. Upon arriving, we were told it would cost more if they didn't have the right tools. But they had the tools at the other store in Crystal River. Then we were told it he couldn't get the all the rubber out and it should have no effect on the ride. Today, we use the bike for the first time, and the power and all the lights turned on, but both the pedal-assist and throttle didn't NOT work. My friend called up there and they told her we brought it in banged up??? SHE PAID OVER $80 FOR SERVICES, BY A PERSON WHO DOES NOT TEST THEIR WORK BEFORE RETURNING TO CUSTOMER. They don't mind bad reviews. We were told.
