I am a Priority (now called Enhanced) member and almost always put in a request for golf. Out of curiosity, I attempted to book a party of four today (Friday) on an Executive course for this Sunday. Between the hours of 8 and 4 there were eight openings and all were at Amberwood. There were pages and pages of pitch and putts to wade through. I propose that The Villages Golf change the format of their online site. Currently, the choices are Championship and Executive. Why not add a third and call it Pitch & Putts? It would make the search far quicker. It would also make clear that a pitch & putt is NOT an Executive course. However, the reason The Villages Golf would likely never make this change is it would expose the dearth of Championship and Executive courses there are to handle the tens of thousands of new homes being built. With all of the complaints, which are certainly justified, it’s time that the developers pay attention and address this issue. News travels far and fast.
