A social subdivision on The Villages’ north side
The Village of Santiago is a golf course neighborhood on the north side of The Villages, the country’s biggest 55-plus community. Life here is full of social and recreational activity.

Every day is a weekend in The Villages.”

El Santiago, El Diablo and a score of activities
The Village of Santiago’s titular golf course, El Santiago Executive Golf Course, is one of the easiest to play in the community. Its sister course, however, is not one for beginners. El Diablo Executive Golf Course challenges players with uneven greens. In comparison, El Santiago offers wide, flat greens. While all subdivisions in The Villages have an adult pool and a small activity area, the Village of Santiago’s rec center is more expansive because it’s a hub for multiple neighborhoods. El Santiago Recreation Center is a lakeside building with a theme that brings Jimmy Buffet’s coastal sound to mind. With the palm trees outside, there are pickleball and tennis courts, lakefront walkways, fishing spots and an all-ages pool for residents and their guests. Inside, the Hula Lounge Room hosts fun classes, from pottery to acrylic painting, and the gathering rooms provide space for club meetings. There are more than 3,500 resident-run clubs in The Villages, and neighbors often form them together. “In my loop, the ROMEOs — Retired Old Men Eating Out — would go get lunch once a month. And the GOLFEOs — Good Old Friends Eating Out — would have a monthly dinner,” says Wendt. “There were also ladies who went shooting together every first Monday.”
