No, you need to wait until further into the growing season. Patience, grasshopper !!

Kenya has been closed for at least a week now. They appear to be working on No. 9.

Totally incorrect...evidently you do not golf.

Yesterday (Friday March 19th) we had a 12:44 tee time at Havana Kilimanjaro championship course. It turned out to be the worst experience I have had on a Villages championship course in the 20 years I have been visiting and subsequently living permanently in Florida's friendliest hometown. Bearing in mind this is the peak golf season and we are paying peak prices, we felt we had been ripped off paying $64 for a course in such a dreadful state.
The greens would win prizes in a quilting contest. They were a mixture of patchwork repairs and bare sandy patches and were bumpy, slow and covered with pitch marks.
Many fringes were also patched. You could not putt over/from them and being in them was like chipping out of the rough.
Bunkers had not been processed that morning and were firm, uneven and not up to the standard we expect.
Fairways were hard and patchy. They seemed generally to have been cut too tight which appears often the case in TV.
To cap it off, it took 4:35 to get round. We waited on every shot. The match in front was at least 3 holes behind and the Ambassador
on the back nine obviously did nothing about it and kept well away from us when passing through the holes we were playing.
Comparing it to Cane Garden last week was like comparing chalk and cheese! We could not be more complimentary about Cane last week.
It appears in general that the ambassadors in The Villages are not empowered to fix slow play. At best there is the odd warning but they never seem to make matches pick up and move to the next tee or ultimately ask them to leave the course and get a full refund. One slow group can spoil the day for not just the match immediately following them but every match on the course behind them.
