This is actually a great idea. Have a rotating closure of ALL greens, including the Club/Championship courses. There's what, 40 Exec and 12 Championship at the present time? So here's what you can do:
Close Nancy Lopez for 2 weeks to upgrade, maintain, repair, and rest the greens. While Lopez is closed, close Mira Mesa, Turtle Mound, and Okeechobee. Notice that's pretty spread out. A CC course up top, with the 3 execs at totally different locations, so that golfers still don't have to go too much further to visit one of the other ones in the area.
Then have them all stay open for a week, before closing the next CC and 3 execs for 2 weeks. And keep doing this, rotating with enough spreadout to minimize complaints of distance from someone's "usual haunt."
Any course that shows more wear and tear than 2 weeks can repair, would stay closed until it has a chance to rest, but while that one is closed, only two other execs would be closed during that rotation, not three.
By the end of the season, all courses should be ready to reopen in much better condition than they were before the process begun.
