We played Truman yesterday and I can’t tell you how disappointed we were in the overall condition of the course .
Starting with the greens , the surface of the greens were in good shape although very slow. However , the areas around the greens were horrendous !
There is little to no delineation between the greens and the collar around them . Sometimes it was hard to tell where the greens ended and the collars began .
The “collars” , if you can call them that, have been scalped down to the dirt level. No chance in heck of trying to have a nice chip .
Beyond the collars , lots of scalped and damaged ground which made the course “ugly”
The tee boxes were just OK but again , no delegation between the boundaries of where the tee boxes ended and the areas next to the tee boxes began.
The good part of the whole thing is that the weather was outstanding as well as lunch at Havana (that’s always great !😊)
Overall , this course can easily be brought up to a B rating or higher but the current conditions earn it a C.
Some may not agree and I’m not looking for your agreement.
The ratings on these write ups that I do are my opinion only.
I try to gauge my ratings based on the report that was published by The Villages several months ago who hired an independent group to rate the conditions of the executive courses after an outcry from us residents about the poor conditions.

Be careful. You could get a letter from the District for posting pictures of private property without permission. Lucky for you they weren't taken using a drone. But you could be next.
