I do agree with those who think Hacienda will be gone in a few years.

Remember when Chi Chi Rodriguez said it was one of his favorite courses? It will take several million dollars for a redo of the Hacienda courses and only time will tell what the end results will be. Who knows, the current Developer leadership is full of surprises.

Missed the point again.

I’m blind in one eye,and have arthritis in each hand and I never graduated high school had to work to put food on the family table….so I don’t know what a coma is….

Played Lakes/Oaks today. You cannot come to any other conclusion than that they intend to bulldoze it near term.

Golf Course conditions
 

Just took 2 guests to Orange Blossom. How embarrassing. No grass. Just green paint. Tierra & Hacienda are the same. Will never play in the Spanish Springs area again.

Good, less crowded, thanks. If you don’t like the conditions at Tierra, you definitely won’t like the conditions at the other 12 Championships.

Correct. Some are worse than others. All overpriced, these conditions would cost you about $30-$40 per round outside The Villages. And they will give you a cart to use for free.

It’s not in my nature to see what’s wrong, but what is good. I’ve played hacienda many times and have come to the conclusion that these courses at best are a B rated movie. If your in the fairway your not rewarded with a good lie, but a hard pan lie. The course is what it is a dump.

Hacienda the lakes and the Oakes
 

Calling these champion courses is a joke.

Realize that this is an old thread. Played Hacienda 1st week of June. Course is in much better condtion than it was back in January. January is not a good month to make comparisons as courses are dormant at that time. Appears they are making a concerted effort to get it back into good condtion and it is even better than it was last summer. Hope this continues.

I sure they can squeeze couple hundred apartments in there. :) IMO they will probably pawn it off to CDDs for few million then will need millions in repairs and sand replacement.

Anyone ever talk to the person responsible for the condition of the courses as to why it is in a poor condition?

This is a golf cart community, find it hard to believe the developer is letting the course run down so as to reduce usage and than find other uses for that land.
