In my opinion, Glenview's conditioning is vastly superior to any course on campus.

Played Lopez on Friday, for the 3rd time. I fail to understand all the love this course gets. Conditions were OK, but certainly no comparison to Glenview or even Cane Garden. The layout is definitely lacking in my opinion. Reminds me of Southern Oaks. Airport, with "Flags".

I also played Orange Blossom for the first time, on Saturday. To call this a "Championship" course, is an exaggeration of gargantuan proportions. I played the Gold Tees and on more than one hole, I was 2 steps from someone's patio or lanai. Call me spoiled if you wish, but I don't think "Country Club" is a proper moniker for that golf course.

Apparently management has neglected to realize, that trees grow throughout their lifetime and if in the middle of a fairway, sometimes need to be trimmed or removed.

Does OB have newer greens? Plenty of grass on them, sort of like putting on Velcro.
