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.
I also have a good amount of experience in the golf business. If you have a solution to the conditions that you find unacceptable, you might want to pass that information along to the maintenance staff.
