That’s comparing apples to oranges !

I'll try harder.
When the price of apples and oranges go up, do they taste better?

The answer is NO. In fact they may get worse. Been here 10 years, so I know from experience.

Wrong they are owned by the Morses. They make more money on the golf course operation then just about anything else.

You are correct the Championship Courses are owned by the Morse family. But how, please tell me "you" know, "They make more money on the golf course operation then just about anything else." Did your barber tell you or are you the company book keeper?

But, lots have the special golf handicapped sticker that are NOT valid anywhere else.

Gas a commodity and mail service ( controlled service without competition) I am sure there is a business term to explain my point ) Golf is a service with competition- I golf off campus twice a week at have the price . Screw the villages golf

SORRY... Too many extended family members living off the Villages!

Many executive courses are in rough shape too. Some look as if they are intentionally rationing the water!

Within the last 10 years the fees have doubled and the quality of the playing conditions have greatly decreased. The greens are average, however the fairways have no grass, it would be nice to see over seeding resume as was done prior to the last 3 winters. With the current conditions I would rather drive 30 minutes or more, to play other courses that over seed and are in much better shape all winter and cost $20 to $35 dollars less. Time is not important when you are retired and there are many courses outside the property that take only 5/10 minutes more to get to. The only way CC's will improve is if residents call golf management and state their concerns and/or totally boycott play. Money does talk. If the fairways were over seed again, the water and fertilizer given during the winter months would greatly improve the spring conditions and preserve the regular fairway grass for the summer months.


You should get a job with the GCSAA.
