I am new to TV (July 2010) but since I have been here it has done nothing but rain daily; well until the last few weeks anyway. Everyone is saying this is the rainiest summer ever.  Yesterday I played Redfish Run and the pond was so high it was hard to get around. (Harder that usual.  )
I am having trouble conceiving of why they would have water restrictions. When I first came the ponds were low, but IMHO not anymore. Yesterday there was also a lot of green residue particularly around the greens and sand traps. I wondered what that was. We also noticed that many of the fringes around the greens were very rough. I had just played there Tuesday and it seemed worse yesterday. 
All that being said, I had a wonderful time both in the beautiful weather and with very nice partners. Lunch was good also.  I guess I wait and see.

I believe the green residue that you are speaking of is weed killer that they spray on select areas that need attention. Not all ponds are used for course watering. If you notice the levels on some of the championship courses they are coming down a bit and will continue to drop without added water.
