Repair this, don't tear up Havana.

:popcorn:

Group played it this morning.

Terrible.

Cane Garden Conditions
 

I do not recommend playing here. The worst greens i have ever played in the villages in my 20 years of coming to and living here. That includes the executive courses. Alamanda is horrid and unplayable. They keep taking our money. Should be closed. They are doing havana first. I just played havana and it was no where near the pathetic condition that cane garden is in.

Havana used overseeded Rye to cover up their diseased greens, temporary fix. I'll bet Cane Garden wished they had overseeded. Cold, wet winter conditions exposes the diseased greens, the catalyst is the weather. Better hybrid greens and fairways are on the way. Cane probably should have been first to go under the knife.

Cane garden restaurant
 

I totally agree that cane garden is probably the worst golf course to play in the villages right now. We played it late yesterday and we're the only ones playing.
But what about the restaurant? We went in after playing and were told we couldn't eat outside despite their being 50% open seats. We sat inside and after 1 and 1/2 hours didn't receive our food. We were the only people in the section. We paid for our drinks and left despite ordering two hamburgers. What's happened to this restaurant??

They had a disease that killed the grass. All of the other courses in the Villages were treated to prevent them from getting the same disease

Has anyone played Cane Garden lately? Are any courses in good shape?

Alamanda is still closed.

Played Alamanda/Hibiscus this morning. I was very pleasantly surprised. Conditions were very good in my opinion and I enjoyed it a great deal. Forgot how much I like the track. Played it a couple times late last year, just after we moved down.

CG has never been in better condition….what a great recovery!!!! Kudos to management and staff and groundskeepers!!

My group played Cane Garden this afternoon. Hibiscus to Allamanda, Jacaranda was closed. Allamanda's greens were very very good. They had aerated and verticut the greens, but the greens had healed enough for a good round of golf. Hibiscus greens had numerous plugs, but were healthy and smooth. It was nice to put Cane Garden back in the rotation for our golf group. Tees and fairways were perfect.

Good to hear. Thank you.

Played it yesterday.

Agree with Allamanda.......very nice.

Hibiscus was marginal because of the condition of a number of greens.
Too many times the plugs impacted our putting.

Probably best to spend my $50 on another course.

:gc::gc:

We had two groups play Cane Garden again today 7/19/2025. Allamanda again was in great shape. The greens on Hibiscus were very, very good. The 7th green was absolutely perfect. Perfect. I just didn't see where the plugs were a problem on the other greens. Priority fee was $36 for the afternoon. Two of us shot 36 on Hibiscus. I know the greens are diseased and need to be replaced, but they have done a magnificent job of making it playable.

I played there Thursday and the greens were horrible. Patches of missing grass and instead of standard top dressing, they put down something that resembled gravel. Small stone and very granular.
