Country Club Hills is among the oldest sections in The Villages — one of the original developments from the 1980s before the community grew into the large-scale planned retirement destination it is today. That age translates directly into financial advantage: CDD bonds issued 40-plus years ago are fully paid off or near-zero for most homes. Orange Blossom Hills executive golf course runs through the village, and a portion of the homes in Country Club Hills sit within 144 feet of the fairway — meaning golf-front lot character without a championship course's greens fee. El Diablo Executive and El Santiago Executive courses are also within the area for additional walking play. The Hilltop Adult Pool provides an age-restricted swim facility for residents, and Paradise Recreation Center serves as the shared rec hub for the corridor. Spanish Springs Town Square — the original town square (1995), Spanish colonial-themed, with the longest-running free nightly entertainment lineup — is the nearest town square anchor.
Country Club Hills is the only village in The Villages to include manufactured/HUD-code homes in its housing mix alongside site-built homes. This matters for buyers in several practical ways: financing programs for manufactured homes differ from conventional site-built mortgages (some lenders require specific programs), homeowner's insurance policies for manufactured homes use different rate structures, and resale dynamics can differ between manufactured and site-built sections of the same village. None of this disqualifies Country Club Hills — it just means buyers considering a manufactured home here should confirm financing eligibility and insurance options before making an offer. The honest counterpoint to the bond advantage: Lake County's effective property tax rate of approximately 1.6% (2024) is the highest of the three counties in The Villages — notably higher than Sumter County's roughly 1.0%. On a $300,000 home, the difference is approximately $1,800 per year compared to a Sumter County village.
