This is normally a condition caused by not changing the location of the hole on a daily basis. Also...how many times do I see putts tracking perfectly to the hole only to see it veer off course at the very end because of a crowned cup? Its frustrating because the greens now are in a dormant stage of growth and very fast. Putts, especially longer ones say over 10 feet cannot be hit firm or youll have another 5 footer coming back.
OK Im done.Opinions please.

If you're a good player and are used to playing on good conditions, you won't be happy with these golf courses. Conditions range from mediocre to horrible. As another poster said, they are public courses. I would add that they are not the best conditioned public courses that I have seen.
if you're going to play here and want to stay in The Villages you eventually have to learn to accept that what it is.
There are some decent public courses within an hours drive of The Villages. Many have lower green fees as well. The Villages courses are under maintained and over priced. But they are convenient.
