Conditions vs. price
The problem with the championship courses is the overpricing for the provided product given. The conditions are no where near what they where 5 years ago. Within the last 10 years the fees have doubled and the quality of the playing conditions have greatly decreased. The greens are average, however the fairways have no grass, it would be nice to see over seeding resume as was done prior to the last 3 winters. With the current conditions I would rather drive 30 minutes or more, to play other courses that over seed and are in much better shape all winter and cost $20 to $35 dollars less. Time is not important when you are retired and there are many courses outside the property that take only 5/10 minutes more to get to. The only way CC's will improve is if residents call golf management and state their concerns and/or totally boycott play. Money does talk. If the fairways were over seed again, the water and fertilizer given during the winter months would greatly improve the spring conditions and preserve the regular fairway grass for the summer months.
