I for one appreciate your reports. I haven’t played at all in a few months but will crank it up again in April. If you play Southern Oaks give us a report

Sorry to say the original comments were a couple weeks ago. Played there Monday 3/14 and the greens were not good. Killdeer and Osprey. Heavily sanded and very bumpy.

Glenview/Palmer
Glenview was almost pristine. Palmer was at best average. I don’t understand how courses could be in such different conditions. Palmer is supposedly a draw and one of the “premier” courses in The Villages. I have a guest from up north with me. I told him how nice the courses are. Then I see poor fairways and greens at Palmer. Weeds all over the fairways. Tees that are bare and have weeds. Maybe they should get the staff taking care of Glenview and see if they can help with Palmer.

Southern Oaks is like playing at an Airport, someone stuck "flags" in. It's an awful course, with no redeeming value, other than the ball runs on the cement like fairways.

My Driver barely goes 235 yards and my 4 iron, about 185 ... I reached a 500+ Par 5 in (2). Yes, made the Eagle Putt.

If they were handing out $100 bills on the 1st Tee, I'd still pass on playing there.

What a funny thing to whine about.

I played Evans Prairie yesterday. Greens were bumpy and very slow. No way to actually expect any putt to roll on the path you intended all the way to the hole.

We played Evans Prairie on Friday. Anyone who thinks it's in great shape has not played Glenview (or even Nancy Lopez or Cane Garden). The practice putting green is awful.

Can’t figure out if this post is complaining or bragging.

It's known as a "Humble Brag"...

I should have mentioned the putting green at Evans. Embarrassment, joke ,disaster ,awful, take your pick. There should be no excuses for the condition of a putting green. To make matters worse the right part of the putting green is almost un puttable yet guess where 2 of the practice holes are placed , you guessed it. The putting green is huge use it. Another example of the incompetence of those running the golf course.

It's 3/21and we're reading about conditions that are 2-3 weeks old. Why can't there be more recent posts, like yesterday. A great deal can happen with grass in 2-3 weeks, and even flooding.
