Does anyone know why all the course closures are the courses north of 466 (with the exception of the Caroline 9 at Mallory Hills)? With Tierra Del Sol already closed until September for renovations, there are now no Championship golf courses open north of 466? Has the rain accumulations been much higher in the norther part of the Villages? Just curious. Thanks

Back to the original question, why are the courses north of 466 being closed and not the southern courses? Is it because north of 466 the irrigation and the household drinking water are one in the same, so the retention ponds don't get drained by home sprinkler systems? I remember after hurricane IRMA the irrigation systems along the roads north of 466 were running all the time despite the fact that everything was already saturated. Just wondering why the course clousers seem to be limited to the north of 466 section of the Villages?
