We are not complaining about having the course be comparable to private, high(er) greens fee clubs. We are comparing today with what used to be.

There is absolutely no doubt the courses are much, MUCH worse than previous years. Little or no doubt about the falling off of the amount and quality of maintenance.

And as a previous poster pointed out, the people who do work on the golf courses have almost no understanding of their role when there are players approaching......NONE! Which is also an indicator of failing/failed/don't give a crap management.
Wife and I have snowbirded here 20 years. Courses have always shown signs of wear during High Season, but last few years it has got bad.
This last winter it is not just wear, it is neglect.
Many courses are a digrace.
