Most "good conditioned" courses outside the Villages have some enforcement policies they adhere to.

I went for a job with the Villages Golf and at the pre-screening we were told Ambassadors are just that. They are there to make sure everyone has a good time and represent the Villages in a positive way. They are not there to police the course. It is not their job to push, rush, or in anyway, negatively impact the the play or players. And a little tid bit of info, they do fill divots on the tee and sometimes on the course, I have seen it and I'm sure most of you have also. Being an Ambassador is not just about half price golf, it's about the love of the game, and give back what it gives you. I met some that have been doing it for 20 years, and are the happiest and nicest people I have met here yet. If you only knew what the ambassadors, and starters have to put up with......
