Our TV courses are not trying to get professional golfers or put our courses on TV.

Try the other courses in TV and see if you can find some that you like.

No Z. You're not confused. Got off track. I agree the courses north of 466 tend to better since they have had more time to mature. Hacienda had problems because of inadequate irrigation installed during construction, I believe. That has been corrected.

And it's true our courses are not intended by design to challenge pros. They are designed for the population that lives here, and the vastly different skill levels of our fellow residents.

But course conditions affect everyone differently. Depends on what your accustomed to and your expectations. I think we've had a good discussion in this thread.
