Interesting thread, about the same every year, misinformation and or lack of information;

Palmer was closed for several weeks last year, I think close to 2 months. Due to poor conditions caused by problems with the watering system.

The executive courses are are only staffed by the Championship courses, example Cane. And by staffing I mean the ambassadors and Starters. The courses are controlled by the district, and the maintenance is NOT the responsibility of the Championship courses.

The maintenance companies, for both the championship and executive courses are sub contracted, just like a lot of the work in the villages. Just like most of the villages home owners, we have someone else do lawn work.

The courses are under heavy restrictions on water use, they do NOT have unlimited water. That is why they did not over seed the fairways this past year.

Folks, we have had NO rain!
