Given that Riley's Greens are barely a year old, I suspect they're diseased. There's hardly any grass on most of them and considering the new strain of Bermuda they used, I don't believe the cooler weather would cause the current, abysmal conditions.

Laurel Valley Greens are embarrassingly bad, for Greens that are less than 3 months old. In my opinion, the renovation work that was done on Laurel Valley, was woefully sub-par.

I don't play Cherry Hill, so I don't have a clue about conditions over there. It's not much of a golf course to begin with.

Tierra del sol and Lopez have significantly better greens. I think that's attributable to a different maintenance team up there. Normally, I'd suggest it has to do with the different water management permit they function under, but I don't think that's the issue this year ... ponds seem to be full, everywhere.
