It's not from too much wear and tear. It's beyond that, something has infected those greens and they need redone.
The starter even told us "don't try to putt, just take 2 strokes and move on".
That said, I played Palmetto last week and the greens were very good and it gets just as much use.

Bottom line, they need to fix those greens.
How? How soon would you expect improvement to "good".? My point is, short of total replacement, it will take time. Either way, the course should be closed.
For the starter to tell you "take two" is telling me, he advocate cheating. In my case, it would improve my game.
