Three executive golf courses — Redfish Run, Tarpon Boil, and Bonita Pass — are within walking distance of many Buttonwood homes. Executive courses are included with the amenity fee for walking play: no greens fee, no tee time required for walking. Having three walkable from a single village is unusual; most Villages neighborhoods are within range of one, occasionally two. For residents who want to walk nine holes in the morning without driving, Buttonwood's position in the central corridor delivers that straightforwardly. Cane Garden Country Club is five minutes away by golf cart — Arnold Palmer Legends and Havana are also within cart range.
Fish Hawk Recreation Center at 2318 Buttonwood Run is the primary regional facility for this section of the central corridor — pool, fitness, and activities. The village also has its own Buttonwood Recreation Center for village-level amenities. The "between the sixes" position — between CR 466 and CR 466A — gives golf cart access to both Lake Sumter Landing Market Square and Brownwood Paddock Square. Most central-area villages fall clearly into one corridor's orbit; Buttonwood's location makes both squares a realistic golf cart destination on a weeknight. Bond context: homes still carrying the bond pay about $680 to $1,578 per year under District 8's Series 2018 and 2020 schedules, scheduled to reach zero in 2038 and 2039. The villa sections (Apalachee, Bayport, Cedar Key, and Crestview Villas) sit at the lower end, about $680 to $760, while two smaller sections — Units 162 and 164, about 12 percent of the village's lots — run about $1,540 to $1,578.
