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.

and it would be a nice bonus where you get your information. Having worked on courses since the early 70's(private and public)the speed of greens has no bearing on how good they are....neither do fringe, fairway or rough length....those are "basics" made up by watching and listening to television telecasts of professional golf.
Please don't ever visit the wonderful local courses overseas....you'd think you were robbed blind...myself? I loved the variation and talent it takes to adapt.
