If I can add to that, many golf courses have access to water from various sources that most likely our courses do not have. Deep wells and ponds, a river or a lake, etc. Our lawns and golf courses suffer this time of the year, every year. By the end of July, once the rainy season hits and the aerification is complete, most of our courses will be just fine.
I am quite sure that if management had an unlimited source of water for irrigation, the courses would softer and greener. As for the executive courses, I think the maintenance company changes have had a positive impact. With the incredible amount of players on these courses day after day, I'm surprised there is any grass left anywhere.
