All in all, we haven't found the courses here to be any great shakes. I guess it depends what you're used to playing on and paying for. I agree that the courses in northern NY are much, much better for cheaper prices. But they are only good for about 4 months/year. Its got to be hard to maintain courses here that get such high play in Jan - april, then the scorching heat of the summer. We are a captive audience, though, and they certainly take advantage of it. There are some much nicer courses outside The villages if you feel like driving.

One thing I understand, but don't understand, is the summer after hours play. With all the play the courses get, and during the hottest time of the year, wouldn't it be better to let the courses rest those hours in the late afternoon and evening? I know it gives some residents an opportunity to play the "big" courses at a reduced rate, but at what cost to conditions.
