I was just up in Rhode Island prior to the big storm they had last week. Played one round of golf. The course in mid January was in better shape than any course in The Villages. Golf here is such a rip off there are much better courses outside the bubble.

Why you gotta be so negative? If you can't say something nice...

Some people are just negative, unhappy and want to spread their sad life.

Default I agree

What a disappointing golf course. Layout is great but condition is horrible. I sorta get the dormant fairway grass but there is no excuse for dirt bottom traps, lossy tee boxes, and horrible greens. Wonder what they would do about the conditions if everyone boycotted golf for a week causing their revenue stream to dry up. Maybe they would wake up and give us courses worth paying $67 to play.

Played it Saturday
Have to agree, really poor condition.
$1k priority for the privilege of paying $50 to play on a fairway with little to no grass.

Complaining here results in nothing.

Thank you for your blanket statement, which disparages a very large group of people...

I kind of doubt it. People complain but have no willpower. You suggest a week it wouldn’t last a couple of days.

Default Belle Glade - Calusa Greens

Been playing golf for 10 years in The Villages. Belle Glade Calusa has the worst greens I have ever experienced in 10 years. Bare spots galore. Tequesta and Seminole are better. I would avoid Calusa until they improve.

100% agree. Seminole is in bad shape.

Well, I imagine they'd simply raise some other fee to compensate for the loss. This seems to be the developer's business strategy. (I'm still burned about having to buy a trail fee along with my priority membership.)

Played yesterday.

Greens are very nice.

Fairways could use some more water.

Quite mowing the roughs so much!!!.....but easy to find your ball!!!

Water is very low & all the gators are out.
