I play lots of executive north of 466 and find them in great conditions especially the 4 at the Lopez course. Amberwood and Oakleigh are in top condition. Briarwood and Walnut Grove are very good as well. Even El Diablo, Saddlebrook and Hawkes Bay are very good and they get lots of play. I played Heron and Pelican and a few weeks ago and greens were terrible but Red Fox down south was also top notch.
Most of the greens that are in poor conditions seem to have suffered from the extreme cold in December and early January but I am just speculating. So why are some courses excellent and some pitiful??? I have heard the executive courses are maintained by the championship staff. Do all courses run as an independent entity?
