Yes, the courses could look a lot better........so can my own landscaping!
How many residents have a nice lawn and nice green landscaping right now???
Sure will be glad when around June comes along and most of the whining stops.  |
The thing is, the Villages has advertised itself as a country club, so naturally people expect country club conditions. And the purpose of the overseeding is to keep things nice and green. You could have a green lawn now if you overseeded it.
This is how the Villages advertises the executive golf courses: "The Villages Executive Golf Trail consists currently of 24 (and growing yearly) nine hole courses unique to The Villages. These courses are primarily par 3 holes with the occasional par 4 or par 5. Unlike many “executive courses” outside The Villages, ours are maintained at a high standard. "
This is what they advertise for the championship courses: "Savor the challenge and the variety of nine championship golf courses, each complemented with the dining and amenities you'd expect from a first class resort country club. As a Villages resident - you're automatically a member!"
So when people play golf at a public course like Baseline and find it to be in better condition than our courses here, naturally people are going to complain. We'd be foolish not to.
