The smell was very strong in September and October but not so strong in late December. We noticed no smell during a recent visit to the area. Maybe it was a combination of hot days, heavy doses of of organic based fertlizer and heavy watering drawn from stagnant ponds. At that time they were "grassing in" the golf courses and common areas so everything was going full blast.
Many golf courses use organic fertlizer as part of their maintenance programs. In fact, Milorganite produced by the Milwaukee sewage plant is the most widely used, including in TV. It has its own unique smell for a few days after application (so good that the locals use it as a deer repellent). But the September-October smell was not Milorganite.
