I'm interested in the specifics of your rating of "terrible". Fairways? Greens? Tees? Rough?

I played the Virgina/Amelia rotation this AM. I noticed some weed invasion on some greens and spots where weeds have been killed off, leaving bare areas. The rough is still recovering from the months it could not be watered at all. The fairways seemed OK although there are still some thin spots, most noticeably on #6 of Amelia. There is a drainage problem on the 2nd fairway on Amelia. I think I filled about 50 unfilled divots and repaired a bunch of ball marks, which is another problem.
