I don't know about the water withdrawal, but I can tell you the soil that many of the greens sit on is the worst. Hit a ball onto #1 at Cherry Hill and the black muddy soil sticks to the ball and you can't just wipe it off, you need to wash it. Even after that the ball looks dirty. Almost as if it has ink on it. Others have the same issue.

More of an advantage to the championship course owners, who don't have to maintain a fleet of carts and provide you with one. IMO, I think they should be giving you a $25 discount off of those high greens fees if you bring your own cart.

I'd like to be George Clooney, but I've sort of given up, wishing for the impossible.

Someone should warn ALL potential buyers of TV’s golf course(s) situation. I’m so glad on got in this site! Might have saved me from making a HUGE financial and life mistake! I just assumed everything inside TV would be absolutely top notch! Unbelievable. Thank you!

Would love to know of a pristine golf course for $74. Only time I have seen this is in a very hot place or very cold place.

Go online, book early on a deal, and pay in advance. Join a program like Golf Pass+ to get additional discounts (pays for itself almost immediately). Read the course reviews to check the conditions. Have not paid more than $30 for well designed championship courses outside The Villages since last November.
