Suggesting that people move if they don't like the golf course conditions, doesn't really fly with regards to the executive courses. We are promised "FREE" golf for life. While we all understand that it really isn't free golf and that we pay for it with our monthly amenities fee we shouldn't have to put up with inferior conditions.
If you play the championship courses, you always have the option of voting with your pocketbook and playing outside The Villages. However, for those of us that play mostly on the executives, that is not an option.
We pay our fee every month and I believe that we should be able to expect reasonable conditions. Many of the executive courses are in reasonable conditions, but many are substandard and we should not have to tolerate that.
I suppose we can complain to the administration, but what other power do we really hold? if we decide to withhold our amenity fee, we will be taken to court and fined.
Not to turn this political, but the more I think about it, the more I realize that this demonstrates the capitalist versus te socialist economic system.
Anyroad, I really don't know what can be done other than complain. I think that the only thing that might change things is if home sales begin to dwindle and it is decided that it's because of the executive golf course conditions.
