I agree with you regarding the greens, as well as the courses in toto. I firmly believe that Golf Management Systems (GMS), which controls all of the courses, championship and executive as well, contracts out to landscapers, not greens keeping companies that know how to maintain a golf course. I am also told by one of the employees with the maintenance companies, that GMS dictates to the contractors the amount of money that will be spent on maintaining the greens. He told me that the latest professional greens keeper companies (1 Source) complained to GMS that they were not allowed to do a quality job at the price dictated.....they are now gone.
