Quote: As was already mentioned the issue is with watering restrictions due to low pond water levels. Therefore only greens and tee boxes will be overseeded and watered. Fairways will not be overseeded which could mean less grass on the fairways during the winter.

This may not be much of an issue on executive courses but I think this could be a problem on the championship courses if we continue to have a dry weather. End of Quote
--------------------------------------

I think it was 2 or 3 years ago that they overseeded Cane Garden in the winter, as is the usual case, but there was a heavy rainstorm and the grass seed washed away, so the course was essentially not overseeded. It was just awful - like playing off of brown concrete. With our cool weather conditions in Central Florida the grass goes dormant (brown) and doesn't grow as fast. If it is true that they are not going to overseed the fairways, the golf course conditions will be crap, unless they have some other measure to try like extra fertilizing and/or watering.

I normally play 3-4 times/week in the winter, at a cost of $125 a week or so. If the courses are in poor condition, I won't spend my money here, I'll go outside The Villages. Oftentimes you can get decent rates at nearby courses and the conditions are much better. Spruce Creek is just down the road, and they tend to be in pretty good shape. I thnk last year they ran a special for around $35 that included golf and cart.
