Since they've redone the greens at CCC, I find them to be unfair. It is true that they run true and are fast, but every green is built as a domed green, and since they are new, they are hard. Nearly impossible to keep an approach shot on the green, including a high flying wedge. Shots can hit in center and roll of green in any direction.

To top it off, when I played it, the area around the green was hardpan, so difficult to chip from as well. In a couple of years, these greens may be great, but for now, I'll stay away.

Best greens in The Villages (from a consistently good perspective) are at Tierra del Sol. I have never played them when they are anything but fast and true (compared to all other courses). Lopez and Riley come close once in a while, but not consistently.
