The fairways and greens aren't cut as short as usual, as I think they're working hard to keep it in condition and rain is in short supply. As a result, the Greens are slower than most would like, but the course is in great condition for TV.
Agree, played Kenya this morning. A+ all around. Fixed 27 other divots during 9 holes.

Let's not get blinded by "reduced expectations". Augusta National is A+, Havana is definitely B ...which is saying a lot in TV!

The difference is you don’t have to give up your first born to play a round at Havana!

Sometimes the first born comes out a little wonky, so might be worth a give away for great course

Drove by late yesterday afternoon. Flags were in and even saw a couple of players. Must be open now. You would have thought the local paper would have had a banner headline on the front page announcing a remarkable recovery!

I played Havana yesterday. For the most part fairways, rough and greens are in very good shape. However all the bunkers are like concrete. They have not been groomed at all. We played Kenya and Killa. On the turn to Kenya all the greens were sanded where Killa were not. Consistency is all a golfer can ask for and that was a fail.

I played the same nines yesterday. I doubt that there was one green that ran much above 7. The practice green was faster, which adds to the problem when you get on the course.

Over the last week or 2, all the courses seem to be letting the Greens grow a little longer, due to the lack of rain ... which of course, slows them down.

Played TDS Sunday and the greens were a bit slower than normal ... my guess was 8.5.

When I first moved here I saw all these complaints And I said to myself I'm so glad I don't play golf. I came for the pools. However, the pools are usually FILTHY as well.

Villages maintenance needs to step up their game.

None of the dozen pools I've visited have been anything less that very clean... Most were pristine...
