I believe that management has changed. I have lived on Pensacola, hole #1, for 12+ years and until this year the pond was always kept at @ 1/2 full until this year and just before the storm on 8/4/24 it was actually over the edge. At around this time someone on ND posted a picture from hole #4 or 5 on the same course and it was 1/2 full. I sent 2 emails to the person in charge, never got a response, but a couple of days later they started running the sprinklers.
