What a friggin disappointment !
The greens were just horrendous !
Not diseased, bare spots or anything like that . Best as I can describe is a series of small, puffy , subtle waves making up the entire greens. ALL OF THE GREENS WERE THE SAME .
They were very SLOW and if you wanted to have a straight put , GOOD LUCK !!
I’m not a greens keeper and apparently the folks that maintain there courses are not either but common sense to tell you that they need to be cut and rolled ….
The rest of the course WAS decent ….

My wife and I also played Mira Mesa and were very disappointed with the Greens and Tee Boxes. Apparently, neither the Greens or Tee Boxes are being properly maintained. The grass on the Tee Boxes is very deep and the Greens have a lot of "rumply-bumplys" that make straight putts impossible and un-mowed grass that greens slow. Also, the Tee Boxes are composed of a very hard, clay like soil that makes it difficult to insert your Tee. The Villages could have saved a lot of money if they had closed Mira Mesa for 30 days to "refurbish" the course and make specific changes/upgrades like the bio-swales they added rather than the total rebuild they performed.
