Because very few things need improving....
Our courses here are used and abused by a lot of rookie golfers and the water allowed to maintain the courses is not unlimited as it was on our courses in Ohio. We also have a lot of carts with handicapped stickers allowed to run up near the greens and that is necessary but not as frequently seen as in other areas. It also is much, much, much, less expensive, and that in itself is very nice...and there is just not ONE course to cuss on. We can spoil our good walk on 12 Championship and 30? executive courses.

Sand your divots and rake the traps.

Gracie, who LOVES it here
First of all, golf is not less less less expensive here than it was for me in New York state. And your comment about 12 "championship" courses is a moot point. What good is having all the courses if they are in poor condition? Our course up north had reciprocals with other clubs so we could play them for free, or just a cart fee. And the courses were much nicer than these down here, at approximately the same price. And as much as you might love the opportunity to take your own golf cart onto the golf course, don't forget you are paying for the cart and its maintenance, to do so.
