1. First there was a cut-back in how often our sand traps were raked.
2. Now there are several courses that are practically unplayable due to the condition of the greens.
3. We are experiencing 5-hour rounds of golf since some Ambassadors who when are asked why 3, 4-somes are on the same hole they reply with "Everyone's On Time" - Obviously not true.
Which leads us to the question -
1. Why has David Williams, our Golf Operations Manager and the Course Superintendents allowed this to happen and what is being done to correct it?
2. Do you think they would care more if our group, like others, decided to play "out-side" of The Villages and lose the $120,000 of revenue ?

Management of the various facilities is the issue. slow play is always a problem, and the same with maintenance. Greenskeepers can make mistakes applying chemicals, or applying the wrong chemicals at the wrong time, and slow play will be here forever. This isn't an excuse, but a reality. Doesn't mean that better management can mitigate this issues you bring up...The money aspect is DOA!
