Somebody really screwed up and should be held responsible for the unacceptable conditions. There are no good excuses given how nice the other courses are playing.

I only play Palmer, Glenview, TDS & Mallory. All are in the best condition I've seen in years.
IMO, the situation at Cane Garden relates to the maintenance crew/management cutting corners and generally being incompetent. I feel like I've typed this before .... you need look no further than the large landscaped area, to the right of the Green on #4 (& behind the 5th Tee) of Hibiscus. It's a beautiful, landscaped area, that cost a lot of money to build. It looks like not a single maintenance worker has stepped into that area, since the day it was built.
I've been told at one time, Hibiscus was the most played 9 holes on campus. It surely one of the better 9 hole routings, it's a shame it's in such poor condition.
