I worked in the golf business for forty years at different golf courses in different parts of the country. I worked through droughts and I have never seen conditions like we have in The Villages. It is reasonable to expect the roughs to not be watered and dry out. It is also not unreasonable to expect to see tees dried up with dead grass. Fairways, aprons and fringes are normally kept decent unless the drought is extremely severe, but greens are almost always maintained.

When I see greens with huge areas of dead grass it is not due to drought.
