I won't even get into the conditions of the sandtraps. They are the worst I've seen in my 50 years of playing this game.
Spend some money and hire more help to maintain these courses.

Not just here. Played Lake Jovita this past week end and same problems. Biggest beef is the weeds. There were weeds growing 2-3 feet high on the bank at Palmer last week. On the length of the of rough, we are more likely to find a golf ball which was chewed up by a lawn mower blade than our own ball. Villages should have a local rule that if a ball is lost in the rough it is a 1 stroke penalty. We do not have hundreds of fore caddies like the pros.
