For those not using the GolftheVillages website, there’s an aeration schedule of all courses on the counter in every pro shop

My group played 18 holes on 8/27 at Havana CC(Kilimanjaro/Kenya)the greens were awful. Still had sand, bare spots & very bumpy. We have been playing out of The Villages & have found very good courses at the same price point or even cheaper. We’ve decided to keep playing out of The Villages. And to the poster who’s griping about the original poster saying they played Havana, get a life-he did play Havana CC. I’m willing to bet most people say they are playing Havana, Cane Garden, etc.

What's the statute of limitations on these critical comments? This negative Nellie's post has been up for nearly a month now. Take it down. I guarantee you Havana is in better shape now.

I just played offsite at Mission Inn. Incredible bermuda greens. Shows that it can be done. Perhaps the superintendents here need to go get some tips. When my friends come in from out of town, I will no longer subject them to ridiculous prices for, at best, muni level golf courses.

I'd make the drive to Mission Inn or Orange County National before paying rack rate at any of the Villages "country clubs". Only time they are worth it is the after 4pm $10 twilight rate.

Played Havana the other day. Greens were generally in good shape, but a few with little weed clumps. fairways also good.

Someone needs to start a Go Fund Me site for TV golf courses for overgrown and/or misplaced trees. Only place that I have seen an overgrown oak tree in the middle of a 5 par fairway(13th at Orange Blossom) If a player hits good long drive, player needs to hit a punch shot from 200+ yards to get past and under the tree or has to hit gap wedge over the tree. Only place I have ever played where a person needs to hit a ball left of the fairway and needs the ball to SLICE back 25-30 yards to hit center of a fairway. (Short white tee 12th at Tierra Del Sol).

Played Hemingway today 10/13, and the conditions were outstanding. No restrictions but some parts of holes were roped off for wet grounds.
Tee boxes were great, greens were great, fairways were great. Also the fairways had that extra 1/4” of grass that golfers have cried for. Definitely a huge plus. Congrats to the greens keeper.

Played Hemingway to Kilimanjaro Tuesday the 11th and was happy with the conditions, huge improvement from earlier in the year.

Played Havana on the 12th and I thought greens were in great shape. Got to enjoy a few birdie juices that day!
