Default Poor Championship course conditions

I have lived and played golf here for 14 years now and the present championship course conditions are the worst I have seen. I would think TV would at least make sure the greens are in nice shape but I find most greens are very inconsistent with being bumpy and bare spots. It really takes the enjoyment out of the game.
One comparison is a course just outside TV. Eagle Ridge gets heavy play by members and Villagers and others in area. They over seed and this course is in beautiful shape. Their greens are smooth and even texture and consistent hole to hole. Tee boxes have grass on them and fairways a pleasure to hit off because they have grass.
The Villages have the money to do it right but it is like they do not really care anymore.
