It will not be on my list as playable until I hear that drastic improvements have been made in the conditions

My Friday group also played HH yesterday (Palms to Lakes) and I have to agree with what you have said. The number of diseased spots on the greens and the size of some of them really was a surprise to the four of us. #1 green on Lakes must have had 30 or so sod patches that made any serious attempt at putts out of the question. Has to be the worst shape I have ever seen any greens. Fairways I thought were in decent shape but those three courses will not be on our list for some time.
