The greens were something like you would find at a muni with no budget. I know we have been in a drought and that has hampered green care but so has everyone else in middle Florida. Visited Disney with my quest as well and the greens were perfect. The fact is that our greens are not cared for in the same professional manner. Our greens need to be verticut and groomed regularly and they are not. Both of these pieces of equipment attach to the greens mowers quickly and are used regularly at well maintained golf courses. Just asking, Is anybody else tired of poor maintenance here ?

Have been playing golf here in TV for 25 years now. Sorry but have to strenuously disagree with this post. In the past 6-12 months the greens in TV Championship courses are better than they have ever been. On the courses I've played regularly, N of 466 and Cane Gdn and Mallory the greens are far better than they have ever been. They are generally quick and putt true. The latter assumes you know how to putt. Even the healing period after aerating is far better than in past years. Even had to repair a few ball marks today on greens that in the past were like concrete. Give it a break pal. You are paying $25-30 a round rather than the $100 or so at Disney. BTW, I'd be happy to provide putting lessons for $30 a half hour. sounds like you might need them.
