Default Belle Glade Dec 13, 2023 Don’t play

Seminole just sanded. Should be closed. Fairways and greens all sand. Calusa fairways were better but greens were also just sanded. Tequesta was closed and was told same thing was being done there so I would play elsewhere till the whole course recovers.

Are the conditions “terrable” or “terrible”? Could be someone’s game is terrible?

How many other courses do we have that you can play until they’re finished doing maintenance on it?

That would be the best time to sand them. I've heard what shape they're in the day after. I never participated in the Christmas get in line contest because I always spent the day visiting my father in the nursing home till he passed but have no desire to do it now. Besides that no one selling coffee or donuts that day as well!

We travel to different friends homes in TV on Christmas. Pass at least 7 championships, depending on the weather, I can’t believe how many will sit in that line just because it’s free

When you say sanded, its a mere light topdressing that goes away in a day... its to help with the grain. relax!

I don't play Villages courses while they are "in season". IMHO they are over priced for the condition of the courses. I play offsite courses that are mostly in better condition for as low as 1/2 the cost of a Villages course.

Most people are hackers and it's only a game. Get a grip. Nothing depends on your score
