Would love to take a Villages wide survey to see how many golfers feel that the fairways are mowed way too low. TV Sirector of Holf told me they are mowed at a height of 5/8". I told him that in 10 years of playing here, I had never seen a single fairway on a single course that had so much as a 1/4" of grass and, most of the time, even less. The other issue is the sand in the traps. Nearly impossible to get a clean lie in a fairway bunker and due to excessive sand around the face of the bunkers, many shots completely bury, making it impossible to get out in one shot. These courses could be a masterpiece with the right grooming but apparently not a high priority for the family or else they just don't care. How many of you agree with this assessment?
