Water alone, does not drive golf course/grass conditions. It's only one factor, to say nothing of the fact, that this year's rainfall is within normal limits. If faced with a severe water shortage, the typical first line of defense is to limit irrigation to Tees & Greens. The next step, is to reduce "managed turf" (allow some areas to naturalize). I've managed golf courses under severe water restrictions and it's a challenge, but competent Superintendents can do it. That's where I think TV falls short. They've hired a bunch of "landscapers" to maintain golf courses and it's an entirely different business.
I have now been told by 2 people who are employed by TV, that the contractor responsible for TDS, Glenview & Lopez (perhaps OBH) has been re-tasked with supplementing the construction crews for the new golf courses down south (or perhaps, one or more of those courses is in "grow in" status, which likely means the Developer has taken over maintenance.
The Contractor that was handling Palmer and a few others, has taken over Glenview/TDS/Lopez.

You could have heard that from your barber, just as factual as 2 TV employees
