Can't put a ball along any line chosen without it moving left & right and imposible to figure out the speed with spots of grass and most areas rolled dirt.Really terrible. Many fo the Championship nines are in poor condition as well. Some that just had their greens replaced in the last few years. $70 -$75 is rediculous and you use your own golf cart.

What will the conditions of the courses be like in 3 to 5 years? TV are not keeping up with home and golf course construction. There were 12 championship and 40 Executive courses before the building boom south of 44 started. How many new families have moved in since then. How many new courses have been built in that time. Don't count the pitch 'n putts & putt putt. They are not real courses and should not be counted in the total holes that TV like to brag about.
I have had to give up golf due to medical reasons. In the past 20 months, the course conditions have deteriorated, course closures have increased, and tee times are becoming harder to get according what I read on TOTV.
Maybe the powers that be should slow down the new home construction and let the GC construction catch up to the needs of golfing community, both in new courses and in the the conditions of the existing courses. Word will get out that TV's golf is having issues.
