Must be the attitude that “it’s not my job”. Just a guess!

The watering during heavy rains is part of THE VILLAGES water usage plan. It keeps the ponds from flooding.

I was supposed to play Belle Glade tomorrow. I got a call today.... it's closed.
Note to self - don't request Evans Prairie or Belle Glade for a while. If it rains you'll either be cancelled or cart path only. |

It’s called reverse watering. Read about it. All courses will be open when snowbirds return and higher rates occur. Evans is clearly mismanaged and has been closed must of the summer. It really stinks

The comments on lowering the ponds are 100% correct. Water is also moved from one part of TV to another part through a pipe system to balance water levels. Irrigation allows some of the water to be removed by evaporation. It may seem odd when a course is closed due to wet conditions and the irrigation is on but course management know what they are doing. Been through some hurricanes here and I have never heard of a house getting flooded. The strategy works.

Village Newbies Don;t get it
I'll take soggy golf courses over water in my house any day of the week. Find something else to criticize the developer.. this irrigation process works as designed. Sorry you can;t chop up some of the courses .

They always do this to get rid of excess water. It must help with evaporation, because they have been doing it for years. I believe EP cannot move water around like other courses.

The family did not want to spend the money to do it right.
