Seems to me the methods used should be the same at all courses, and defined by a Villages Golf Course Superintendent- i.e.

apply XYZ fertilizer between May 15 and May 20.
mow fairways on Tues and Thur
Aerate greens on this schedule.

The difference would be 1) equipment and maintenance or equipment - do the mowers get washed every day? 2) the supervision and adherence to the schedule.

I HOPE, The Villages doesnt allow each company to define their own maintenance schedule and buy their own fertilizer/seed etc.
