You sure don't want management to discover that your favorite executive course needs attention.

And then they'll ban you from using them for six months until the snowbirds arrive to reduce them to rubble again by February.

And lord help you, if they ever catch you walking your dog on their pristine masterpiece while it awaits its January re-destruction!
I doubt "snowbirds" (seasonal residents who are owners and therefore have a vested interest in our community) are the problem. Renters, especially those that do not return year after year and STRs are probably an issue. Lack of knowledge by those maintaining the course is probably a huge factor.

And there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON, EVER, TO WALK YOUR DOG ON GOLF COURSE PROPERTY!
