The 4-minute golf cart ride from Cason Hammock to the Sawgrass Grove Complex is the defining access advantage here — Clifton Cove Putting Course, Ezell Regional Recreation Complex (sports pool, 18-hole putting green, pickleball, tennis, bocce), and The Market at Sawgrass Grove are all within a short cart ride without crossing SR 44. Built in 2021 in Sumter County (ZIP 32163), the village has its own Cason Hammock Recreation Center with an adult pool, and Southern Oaks Championship Golf Club is directly adjacent. Under District 13's Series 2020 schedules, homes carry an Average-tier annual bond assessment of roughly $1,500–$2,170 — a mid-range southern bond, not the near-original burden the early-2020s build era might suggest — so verify the exact amount and annual payment for any specific home before making an offer.

Cason Hammock sits at the edge of the newest recreation cluster in The Villages. The Sawgrass Grove Complex is 4 minutes away by golf cart: Ezell Regional Recreation Complex for sports pool, putting green, and racquet sports; Clifton Cove Putting Course for a free 18-hole putting round; Sawgrass Tavern and The Market at Sawgrass Grove for dining and everyday shopping — all without leaving the golf cart path network. Back inside the village, the Cason Hammock Recreation Center has its own adult pool with pool lift, pavilion, shuffleboard, and corn toss, so residents are not sharing a town-square-adjacent facility with the broader community. The Aviary Recreation Center is also accessible nearby. Southern Oaks Championship Golf Club is directly adjacent — the same course referenced in nearby Marsh Bend and Monarch Grove. The village has Patio Villas, Courtyard Villas, Verandas, and Designer Homes; Cason Bungalow Villas are a villa sub-type within the village that appeals to buyers wanting a cottage-scale footprint with the standard amenity access.
Brownwood Paddock Square and Eastport are both about 10 minutes away by cart — giving residents two additional town squares for nightly entertainment beyond Sawgrass Grove. Lake Deaton Plaza is the practical shopping anchor for the southern area: Publix, restaurants, nail salon, and barber, all golf-cart accessible. The honest cost picture for a 2021 southern-area village: under District 13's Series 2020 schedules, the bond is Average-tier — roughly $1,500–$2,170 per year — a real line item but not the near-original burden the build era implies. Cason Hammock sits inside City of Wildwood limits, so property taxes run approximately 1.29% — the Wildwood municipal millage on top of the county rate, versus the ~1.0% on unincorporated Villages properties. Run the full annual cost — bond assessment, taxes, and the amenity fee (~$204/month in early 2026) — before comparing these homes to central or northern Villages listings at a similar purchase price. The recreation access and new construction quality are real advantages; so is the carrying cost gap.
Cason Hammock is in the southern area of The Villages, south of SR 44 in Sumter County, ZIP 32163. It sits west of the Village of Citrus Grove, about 4 minutes by golf cart from the Sawgrass Grove Complex. Sawgrass Grove is the closest town square.

The Sawgrass Grove Complex includes Ezell Regional Recreation Complex (sports pool, 18-hole putting green, pickleball, tennis, bocce), Clifton Cove Putting Course, Sawgrass Tavern, and The Market at Sawgrass Grove. Cason Hammock is 4 minutes by golf cart from this cluster — close enough that residents can use it as part of their regular routine without crossing SR 44.
Cason Hammock's bond is Average-tier. District 13's Series 2020 per-unit schedules show annual assessments of roughly $1,500–$2,170 — a mid-range southern bond, not the near-original burden the 2021 build era might suggest. It still adds to annual carrying cost alongside property taxes and the amenity fee. Always verify the exact bond amount and remaining term in writing for any specific home.
