I observed a lot of play in progress during our round. Green sizes were notably smaller and flatter than accustomed to seeing on other courses in The Villages with evidence of weeds on some greens. Balls rolled a little fast on the greens. Fairways & tee boxes in reasonable shape. Elevated locations around the course provided some spectacular views and challenging entry angles to several greens. Overall course in average condition.

The course is a must to play a round on to see the first executive course in The Villages where everything evolved from since its humble beginnings in the 80's. (My error in stating it was the first...as truly was a practice facility revamped later into an executive course. Silver Lake was 1st)
Did the Parrots in the bird cage between the 8th green and the 9th T box converse with you. My wife always says hello to them and that starts a strange dialogue.
