I've been looking for an opportunity to call this out, without being the instigator, but seeing as you just did, I'm going to pile on.
I only play 4 Championship courses in TV. I think Belle Glade, Evans Prairie and Southern Oaks. are 3 of the most uninspired golf course designs I've ever seen.
Lopez is a long ride and I don't think it's much of a golf course.
Havana, Hacienda & Cane Garden are in such lousy condition, I don't bother.
I play Palmer. Without a doubt, they have the BEST staff of any of the courses I play. The starters & ambassadors are almost without exception, good guys who work hard, keep things moving and know what they're doing.
I play Glenview. The starters are humorless and full of themselves and the ambassadors are useless. In my 300 rounds in TV, I've had to call the professional to complain about incompetent, rude staff, exactly 3 times. All 3 times, at Glenview.
I play Tierra del sol. Tierra del sol has the grumpiest, most incompetent starters in Florida. The are completely useless and can't come close to keeping things running on time. The only thing worse than talking with one of their starters (or trying to), is dealing with one of their ambassadors. Other than Brett, you'll never find an ambassador at TDS. When they're not hiding, they make sure not to drive within hailing distance of any players. My last 5 rounds at TDS, have been close to 5 hours. Great job, guys.
I play Mallory Hill. Great bunch of starters and ambassadors. Friendly, personable, helpful and they do their best to keep things moving. Hardly ever over 4 hours at Mallory. Partially course design, but the ambassadors get some credit.
