The putting greens put every championship course the Villages is providing to SHAME.

Did you ask them why?

Is it that they don’t get the wear and tear that the Villages’ courses get?

Or are they maintained better?

They are so much better than EVERY championship course I have played in the last month, albeit most of them were closed for weeks. Tierre Del Sol might compare.

The real question - what is the price comparison all up all in ?

[TSO/ISPF]

46 dollars with cart.
less expensive than the villages.

[Snakster66]

I appreciate the review on the putting surfaces, but what is the rest of the course like?

[Topgun 1776]

I guess it's a good thing The Villages bought that course 2 years ago for future growth, huh?

CCC is one of our go-to courses outside The Villages and the greens are just one of the reasons. They have done a wonderful job over the last few years of completely replacing their irrigation system, building new cart trails and maintaining the course all year long regardless of whether its summer Bermuda or winter over seed. And their prices are certainly better than The Villages.

What wear and tear in The Villages? Have you played a round in the afternoon wave? We had tee times at 11:56 and 12:04 on a couple of Villages courses recently and there was NO ONE behind us.

[HORNET]

But the tee boxes and fairways are terrible. Why not #### there

[HORNET]

Terrible

[Jim1mack]

I played Tequesta at Belle Glade an Ft.Walton at Bonifay the day they reopened. It appears the rough had been cut higher so that you have to be standing over it to find it should you hit it there. And then trying to hit out of It is near impossible. My foursome on Wednesday was astonished the challenge it brought. What do you think.

Why are you hitting into the rough? Stay in the short stuff and you do not have that problem. If you hit into the rough you should be penalized, not where you should be.

Rough, like fairway bunkers should cost you about 1/2 stroke on average. NOT stroke, distance and a golf ball

[Breeze729]

You didn't care for the fairways, did you?

[Breeze729]

I played last week and yes the greens are grewat but the fairways were from from it

[kcrazorbackfan]

To all of you going ga-ga over CCC, I’m sure you could find housing to move there so you can play it all you want.

Quit damning The Villages courses; if your game is as good as you think it is, the conditions shouldn’t matter.

[dewilson58]

One of these days I'll load my clubs, shoes & glove into my truck and take a road-trip to try the course.

Difficult to do with all the CC's jus a golf cart ride away.
(the reason I moved to TV)

:sigh:

[Pete Swanson]

Always be humble and kind?????

[Breeze729]

As we get older, and the Villages and other courses surrounding us cater to us, there is no reason for the rough to be as long and challenging as they are making it. The Villages is not caring so much for those of us here all year long but to raise prices when the Snowbirds come back down. The Villages got the PGA person to back the stupid story of El Nino when all the other surrounding courses that remained in good condition just laughed at that explanation.

Breathe, Breathe.

The long roughs are a result of all the rain.
They can not cut it all back at once and leave the dead grass on top.
It will take them time to return to no roughs of the past.

[HORNET]

Why don’t you #### There

Not sure they have a reason for this; however, pace of play is greatly impacted by ball searches. I'm convinced blowing off the 3 minute search rule is common as well.

It seems like they leave the rough a little longer every summer. Irregardless of rain. Maybe there's a horticultural reason.

I'll play. Tuesday and Thursday mornings are good for me. Anyone else? Maybe we can get a TOTV foursome.

I hit in the rough once. About two feet in. The rest of my foursome were not so successful.

That’s good. Keep playing there
