During the long days of summer, each of the 5 courses at Bethpage, including the black get 420 rounds/day. Same is true at Eisenhower Park's 3 courses. Private courses likely get much less play. Many courses in our area are fully booked as well, so "huge numbers of rounds played" is not a phenomenon unique to The Villages. I've been saying for 10 years---just recruit the greens superintendent from Julliette Falls and pay him whatever he wants, there doesn't seem to ever be bad conditions there.
