Played Havana yesterday. The greens are terrible unless you like putting on sand greens.

Havana is not a golf course. Hemingway, Kilimanjaro or Kenya. Have you really played or just creating false reporting?

Did they just airyated the greens? That's usually why they are full of sand. All part of the maintenance cycle. Unless you are playing for money, we usually just have a two put rule when they are like that.

Good day to work on the old handicap and enjoy the views and company!

Aeration schedules for both Championship and Executive courses are published. It's easy enough to look at the schedules, and avoid a course that has been aerated within the past few days.

At least the CC restaurant is still good.

Havana is the Country Club. Hemingway, etc. are just the individual nines. By your reasoning Palmer is not a golf course, Glenview is not a golf course, etc. Nobody says "I 'm playing Hemingway/Kilimanjaro today." They say "I'm playing Havana today."

According to the schedule online, Havana was aerated in early August - so YES.
I don’t know how long the aeration marks stick around in FLA.

Havana IS the name of the CC. He played the courses of Havana. They just did the greens, so if you are worried about the condition of a course, read Golf the Villages and look up the schedule when they do the greens.

Well then there a lot more courses to pick from. If you dislike it play somewhere else! Complaining won’t make grass grow just go somewhere else but I’m sure you’ll find something wrong with any one you go to.

I agree Will. Wish I had seen this post before playing there. It's been 2 weeks since it had been aerated and should have been more healed by now. The course should have been closed it was so bad. BTW...I don't know why you had to get such rude answers from other Villagers and the post on the name of the courses was ridiculous.

Coming in for a few days as a temporary resident and wondering where this list is posted so we avoid recent aeration. Thanks

By your Thread title and emoji, I thought you went to Cuba and did not like it…

Unfortunately for us Summer players sand is a necessary evil. Just played Hacienda and will give kudos(partial) to the superintendent. Fairways are in much better shape than before. Hopefully they will fix greens. Saw a lot or weadlike grass growing up thru similar sand
