I have found that courses South of 466A are in abysmal shape. I have heard the draught excuse but other courses outside of the bubble had no problem maintaining their greens. I play World Woods on Saturday and saw that it was maintained beautifully and it is a public course. I have played several courses North of 466A and found that most are in good shape. It really is frustrating to see the investment made in golf courses to be thrown away with pitiful maintenance. The Villages shouldn't think that they have a monopoly on golf in this area. Driving an hour or so in any direction to play golf on a beautiful course is not a problem. Poor course maintenance can be rumored to potential buyers and eventually hurt their bottom line.
