Working at Streamsong a good idea? Free Golf? - Any feedback?

[BG5]

Hi Gents,

 

I am soon to be a retired teacher and have thought about working at a place like Bandon, Sand Valley, Streamsong etc just for the opportunity to play free golf at some of the best resorts in the world.  I would assume they need workers as most resorts do but maybe I am wrong.  I will be retiring somewhat early in life (55) and thought it might be fun to work at a place like that just to keep life interesting.

 

I also dont need the money so maybe I just move to a place a join a country club and not work but the idea of living in a place around Streamsong for a period of time and golfing it like crazy is somewhat appealing to me.  I doubt I can do it forever but it does seem like it might be cool to do for a period of time and enjoy the simple things in life.

 

Any experience with someone doing this?  Do you get free golf?  Is there a "team" atmosphere at a place like Streamsong and if so do people have feedback on this?

Streamsong is in a very remote area. If you live close to the resort you'll have nothing to do. That wouldn't be what I'd want to do in retirement. If you move closer to Tampa or Orlando you'd have a fairly to long commute.  I'd suggest moving closer to Orlando and try to get a job at one of the Disney golf courses. I have many retired friends who work at Disney World ( not at the Disney golf courses though). They really love it and get good perks

I live 40 minutes from Streamsong (Parrish) and wouldn’t say it’s remote at all.
