Your comments fail to reflect that Cane Garden is A Villages Golf Course. Why would you expect it to be in any better condition. The maintenance on virtually all Villages Courses is typically far inferior to other area courses. Not sure how they continually get away with this while telling us that we live in paradise. I have played three outside courses in the past several months, Juliette Falls, Harbor Hills and Arlington Ridge. All three made the Villages courses seem more deplorable. With recent disclosure of over 2.5 billion net worth for the family Morse,might it not be reasonable that Villagers demand that perhaps a few hundred thousand of this be invested in making TV golf courses as great as their TV commercials suggest.

Actually I'm a content Villager, but isn't it about time that we start to protest the ****ty conditions us golfers are required to face each time we tee it up in our beloved Villages?

By the way, this is intended only for players who have a clue about what I'm talking about!
Recent Observations from personal play:
Lopez - Fabulous
Glenview Pretty Good
Bonifay- On the road to recovery and very playable but slow greens
Saddlebrook EC - very green and in good shape
OB - Probably the best of all

I can't agree with your "$#!tty" comment on conditions. Mikeod said it all in a great post
