I have played in a 20+ player group of golfers with a handicap range of scratch to 6 for 8 1/2 years. Golfers who moved to The Villages that were "Country Club" members elsewhere would soon find out that course conditions in TV were considerably inferior to where they came from. With that said most of the golfers in TV did not experience the "finer conditions" before moving here so they don't know what they are missing and don't care. Played Palmer today and the fairways are a mixture of thin grass & mud. For myself and our group the conditions in TV in general are probably 5 on a 1-10 scale. TV does such a fabulous job of giving us great, well maintained amenities (to include the Clubhouses and Pro Shops) in everything they do, it is too bad that they can't continue that standard to the maintenance of the golf courses.
