Every tee time is filled. Until Villagers vote with their feet there will be no incentive to improve conditions.
The selection of good playable courses inside The Villages is dwindling rapidly. I only know of three that are actually worth what they are charging at winter rates. To me , Lopez, Orange Blossom and Palmer are the only 3 I have an interest in playing until there is some improvement. I realize the rates are going down in a couple of days but that doesn't change the fact that the other courses need lots of work.

Do not follow where the path may lead.
Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
