We use priority for the country club pools (for visiting family and grandkids), to play in couples events and mens day. Have played in several off campus courses and found similar conditions (mallory and cane excluded) to village championship courses. Among them Harbor Hills, Stonecrest, and others. Courses north of here in Marion county (near Ocala) are better in that they have been getting the rain that the villages has been missing. Several weeks ago (on a wednesday) at Ocala golden hills finished before the heavy rain that never materialized in the villages. Same the week before at Juliette Falls. In fact it never came south into our area.

Been here 8 years and have seen wet and dry years for golfing.
