Will be back in TV soon and am wondering if there are other championship courses I should avoid, due to course conditions.

We played Orange Blossom and Palmer (Cherry Hill/Laurel) on Saturday. Both courses were in good condition. Greens were fast and and rolled great. You have to play remembering that it is the dormant season. If I was still in WNY I would be only hitting in a golf dome range. How bad can it be when you are playing golf in January in 75 degree weather? I may be new here in TV, but I think this place is great!

Just like the newer golf courses. Cow Pastures with maybe 25 holes filled with sand. and 18 small holes in the ground. No character, no trees.

Agreed. Boring, overpriced designs built over drain areas. Using your own cart makes the price seem outrageous. Take a drive and play some nice designs for half the price.

In general there seems to be a lack of fairway grass on the championship and executive courses. You can't hit an iron or a wood off what appears to be a greenish matted clay like substance with something that could not be confused with grass. I have been going off property for 18 hole golf at half price or even less than that. This is a situation of inelastic demand so they know they can jack prices up and the courses are still booked to the hilt.

Played Kenya on Thursday. The greens were atrocious. We couldn't understand why they were so slow, because they had no grass on them. The previous descriptions were more than accurate. Sad they have the nerve to charge people to play there.

Havana
 

Anyone contact Havana about this?

That says something right there

Be careful of what you wish!
The Morse millennials could plow course under and put in apartments!

Where is the Havana leadership? I can't find them!
 

Wanted to send a copy of my email that I sent to one of our neighborhood golf organizers about Havana conditions on to the club pro or anyone else who might be able to make a difference in the future. Can't find a way to contact any of them, so if you do, maybe you could forward my email. Thanks!

Jim, I have a conflict with golf on Tuesday that I can't resolve. If you want to juggle the 4 somes please let me know and I won't remove myself and let you do it. Don't want the 'no show' point.
FYI, Penny and I played Havana last Sun. We were there with 3 other couples so we didn't walk off and demand a refund because of the course conditions. Learned later that all 3 other couples were having the same thoughts. I've never seen any Champ or Execut course in the villages in such horrible shape. It's so awful that Penny canceled out of one of her regular groups that was scheduled there this week and we canceled out of the upcoming Valentine tourney we were scheduled in because it's being held at Havana.
As a young, poor guy in Montana I played in some real cow pastures in the 70's and early 80's. Today' Havana makes them look good. What a shame. PT

Da wilson78 You just dont seem to get it do you?

Taking a divot on your shot out of the cow pie gives playing it as it lies a whole new level of dedication!!:BigApplause::BigApplause:

Played Havana yesterday with my group and the course was deplorable. Greens were horrible especially no. 9 on Kenya. Not worth half the price of what we paid. Close the course and do some work on this cow pasture. Oh, I forgot. It`s high greens fee season.

How do you post on this site?

My group of 20 players played Havana! Simply said: the golf course was awful and the greens were a total mess - financially speaking: we were “ripped-off”!
