It seems by your post that you have no idea how difficult it is to maintain a golf course and that sometimes mother nature and the ground crew have no control over what happens. Give it time and it will come back and in the mean time play other courses.

Sorry to tell you but I have a background of working on golf courses. You entirely missed my point. This summer I have played nearly every executive course in the Villages. Most of the courses are in excellent condition. De la Vista is and has been in an extremely poor condition for several years. My point was, considering the excellent condition of so many other executive courses why is this one (De la Vista) in such poor condition. I am talking about barren fairways etc. And there is no basis to believe that the ground crews have no control over what happens. A good maintainence crew will be proactive and prevent most problems before they happen.
