Pelican has been a little rough around the edges since I have been here (2014). The first half of the fairway on the first par 4 is often wet. A good drive, however, puts you well past the wet area. The tee box is sometimes moved up near the fairways bunkers to apparently keep people out of the wet fairway and perhaps speed up play. It will probably take some major surgery to address this issue. The area near the cart path adjacent to the tee box on #8 is often wet. Many of the executives have very short grass on the par 4s - this is nothing unique to Pelican. Regarding ballmarks on the greens, what can I say, they are ubiquitous. I have just come to accept that Pelican is not a manicured course. It is one of my favorites, however, and is fun to play from the black tees.

Even the. cart paths had water over them and. mud. Who ever is managing this course needs to go back to basics and learn to maintain a course. Why are our executive courses quality declining so much. When you contact the Managers they have one excuse after another. It seams like they are only concerned about how many holes we have here in The Villages. Maybe they need to start adding the sink holes also.
