Don't know what private courses you played up north but Where we lived (Wisconsin) My course and the Private courses in our district had greens that stimped no less that 8 and usually around 10. The fairways had healthy grass and the fringes of the greens were always shorter than the rough adjoining them. If these basic standards were not met the superintendent would be gone. I played about 3 times a week and still do. My dues up north and what I pay here for Priority and green fees were very close. Considering my past Golf Club experiences I just like to get what I pay for. By the way: Outside of golf, everything else The Villages does is first class and I wish that standard would apply to the Golf Division.
