I have played both country club (often referred to as championship, but far from it) courses and the executive courses here in The Villages. For those of you complaining about the country club courses, you should try the executive courses where the greens are often bumpy and sandy. Sometimes the edge of the green and the start of the first cut fringe are indistinguishable. Then you would appreciate the country club courses. I agree with others who stated that you should look outside The Villages to see if those courses are better. Maybe you need to go to Arizona, where the courses are fantastic; however, green fees are just as fantastic - sometimes nearing $200 or more for 18 holes (unless you purchase one of the available cards that allows a discount for play at some of the courses}. In the end, as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for.
