The funny thing is that when I came here almost 4 years ago I was told "the greens were perfect up until last year - it's just been a bad summer". Then I was told "it's been too dry - they were great 2 years ago". Then it was "we had a cold winter - tough to recover from that - but they were great 3 years ago".


Almost laughable. I don't think they really care to tell you the truth. If the Villages didn't have this captive audience I think the general public would have not revisited and these courses would be a ghost land if they had to stand up to competitive competition. But just like everyone else I still play them day in and day out since it's part of my monthly dues. I guess we just have to take it and shut up. I get the same answer from golf mgt. every time: "we're aware and trying to take steps". In almost any business I know of if you try and take steps but fail you are out on your as*!
