The thing that drew me to The Villages is the huge selection of executive courses and the much advertised phrase " Free Golf Forever " and with my own cart for Petes sake. It doesn't get better then that but, the truth be told, and weather aside, somebody has goofed as to the condition of these greens. Golfnut states that our greens are the best around. I say that is not so and in the good spirit in which it is intended, I invite him/her to join me for a round at Baseline, and lets make a comparison on the condition of the greens. My treat.

Sorry beartrack. Not to take anything away from your original post - I've been ranting about Championship greens because that is what I play, and you are correct - what little I played the Exec. courses, earlier in the year, the conditions were good on some courses, but poor on others. I do think people need to get offcampus and see and play other golf courses before they compare our courses to those outside.
I contacted the District Board (on golfthevillages.com) a few days ago and the email went out to all the members, asking them who to contact regarding golf course conditions. Most of the members got back to me and told me to contact Country Club Administration at 753-3396 and they would be able to point me in the right direction. One member told me to contact Property Management in Southern Trace. He said the Championship Courses are a private business and the AAC has no jurisdiction there. I expect that would apply to the executive courses as well.
