I've played quite a few of the courses(champion and exec.'s)...some pretty sad greens and fairways and some really good ones too...I've worked on a few courses(not just played)and understand some of the issues they are having...but not all...until one of you actually does a face-to-face with a person who's really in charge then you accomplish nada, nothing, nil, zip, zilch etc.

So instead of just beating the brush and fanning the flames it might be that one of you will make the big leap and find some real answers. Let us know...as for me...I'll just keep playing and shooting good scores on the poorly manicured courses....

If this offends I am sorry...really....but as you know all you need do is just complain to the site folks and they'll delete this post....and there still will be no "real" answers....just saying...
No disrespect intended, but how does speaking with someone on the phone versus meeting them in person really differ when you're dealing with customer service people? They seem to have a response that they are giving out to the residents, and they'll offer the same response in person or on the phone.

I don't think the golf administration people are lying, I'm sure they would like to see the courses in good shape, but many of the residents are getting sick of the same excuses year after year. Many residents are not members of TOTV but I play golf in some large groups, and I hear the comments. The response from Administration is always challenging conditions, lack of water, heavy play, blah, blah, and yet there are other courses in the area which seem to be able to surmount these challenges quite readily. It does seem to point towards money and/or maintenance practices. When a community is marketed heavily as a golf community, but the golf courses don't measure up, of course there will be discontent among the avid golfers.
