Played Tierra today, greens were true and fast. Course in great shape. Has anyone played Orange Blossom lately, what condition is it in?

Need to put this all in perspective, folks. Last week during my return from Virginia, we stopped at Hilton Head Island for two nights, just so I could play one of the famous resort golf courses. Got a tee time at Sea Pines Resort, Atlantic Dunes course. Paid $250 for one single round. There were some nice amenities in the form of cordial helpers around the bag drop and starter, and a drink cart that came by us probably five times during the round.
However, the condition of the course was in essence no better than what I see here at home in The Villages. Fairways were cut too short, leaving little grass to cradle the ball. Roughs were also too short, with some bare spots. Color of the turf was still brownish. Greens were smooth and well-laid, but not always consistent roll. So all in all, comparing our courses at $40-60 to this resort course at $250, I think we've got a pretty good deal. |

Golf in The Villages
Coming from Naples. Florida, I can see quite a difference in golf course management. In The Villages, the money goes into the pocket and certainly not into golf course management and improvement. The green fees are tweaked but not the course conditions!
Soon a Boycott will be in place?? |

You will not believe the improvements...Thorney Lea wanted to hire the Super a couple of years ago. The city still has him and he doesn't have the private club headaches (members).

Played Sterling Heights yesterday. The fairways were a bit thin, but you're not suppose to be on them, right?
The few I hit (the par 4s) were quite easy to hit off of. Made a shallow divot, filled it with sand and headed to the green (which were quite nice!).

Good to know, finally got to play Thorney Lea couple of years ago and loved it. Can't blame the Super for staying with the city (at least until he gets that pension time) that's got to be a nice gig to have
