The maintenance of these courses has fell by the waste side and now the villages is directly managing the maintenance now and got rid of the management company years ago!
And that still happens. The new course in Wellpoint / Oak Hollow was nearly complete before the first house was built. Same with Laurel Oak. The new course south of Bexley Trail is being built now, and there are no homes there.

Yes yes I know that this is not what some want to hear. However, you are welcome to take a drive down Bexley and have a look for yourself.
