Admittedly golfers are not asked to repair ball marks or take sand straps…. That really means they’re have zero golf etiquette but most of the damage I see is from scalping the green, fluid leaks, or fertilizer burning. They need a plan to assure the same level of maintenance after the executive course is transferred from the developer to the CCD..:. Maybe a larger trust fund required… however even the championship courses suffer…. Their condition has dramatically decreased in the 16 years we have been coming here… tearing down the clubhouse on Hacienda never being an example… anyway improper maintenance may well be one factor that kills the golden egg of our housing investments…
I'd have to disagree strongly about the assertion that the championship course conditions have dramatically decreased over 16 years. The condition of the championship courses is much better now than it was when I got here in 2011 thru at least 2015.

I would be surprised if a couple pictures sent to Executive golf maintenance didn't result in some action.
