Spring is around the corner and things should begin improving.

Played it today for fun.

ZERO fun.

The poster is correct, terrible green conditions.
Not maintenance, Not sanding, Not punching holes.
Mud.................30% to 75% of the putting areas.
Jus plain crap.

After 11 holes, we walked off.
Kept giving the course the benefit of the doubt.

Unfortunately, out of 150,000 people in TV, only about 50 people read ToTV.

TV Golf should really post a warning about how bad the condition is right now.

Poooooooooooooor Snowbirds, they packed the courses.

Heard they do, but where jeans. Tacky, and that is a reflection of their maintenance`

Based on course conditions around The Villages, some maintenance supervisors and workers need to be fired. We pay our hard earned money for these courses. We should not have to be subjected to these poor conditions.

We played Egret to Killdeer on Feb 28. The greens are embarrassingly horrible. We have out of town guests and I'm completely embarrassed as a Villager to have them play this course. There are NO excuses to have greens in this bad of condition.

Played a couple weeks ago.

You can see the work they are doning to rehab the greens.
Most are very puttable.

Seeing better fairways.

All-in-all...........Progress.


But, if you are a Cup Half Empty type of person..............don't play it, you will jus complain.

The mantra this year is wailing, “El Niño, El Niño…” but only for the courses which are in bad conditions, not about the other ones. So, if that is true, why was there no anticipation of the weather conditions? El Niño has been forecasted some time ago.

I guess the nice courses are the result of El Nino too.
