All of the courses are on a schedule for both aerification and for green replacement. The aerification will occur on schedule regardless of the condition of the course as that is what ensures continued health for the green.

Green replacement also occurs on a schedule, and they adhere to it. Unlike aerification, replacing greens should really be done on an as needed basis, not on a schedule. If proper maintenance were done on the greens (like at most other courses in the world), they would not have to replace greens as often as they do. This is The Villages band aid to handle greens that they have let go too long.
