If they can get the tee's looking so good, why not the greens. Same group played Churchill a few weeks ago and they were not in good shape either. #5 was rebuilt a few years ago and it still looks bad.
We played Belmont on 3/10.
The greens weren’t beautiful but they were very playable with decent speed and putts that rolled true.
Our foursome played well and enjoyed the round.

These exec courses are not comparable to private country club courses and never have been.
