I dont play the month of May ever since it became part of the winter rate
They start their work on the courses and during the summer not that they aerate the greens so often that need 2+ weeks to recover leaves you really limits you few courses to play

No. But those who stand to gain at the developers expense have circulated rumors like this on this forum for as long as I can remember.

I always wonder if it it is those who don't live here and wish they do, or those who are building other developments closeby. Or just folks who are envious of the Morses enormous success. But this kind of talk and negative talk about this wonderful place happens here, and has happened here and will happen here while The Villages continues to be head and shoulders above any similar entity in this whole country.

You may be right. Too often on forums like this and others, posters talk about the negativity and envy etc. It’s because it’s the way people feel whether we agree or not....neatly packaged and presented in one place. Do you not agree in past generations, pre internet, that this type of ‘negativity’ was confined to social clubs, fraternal organizations, Dunkin Donuts, bars etc....and still does? It’s human nature. There was a comedian who passed recently, Greg Giraldo, who had a bit about people that say their town or city is the best in the country. Unless you’ve visited every corner and crevice of this great country, how can you make that distinction. TV is a special place and I don’t see it as exclusive. It represents a decent demographic and varying income levels. If someone is envious, welcome aboard.....and if not, best wishes moving forward

Should help the folks trying to sell their homes …….not even Forest Gump has a quote to identify with this picket line idea.:yuck:

Live on Hacienda. Huge improvements over the past 18 months.

Developer has nothing to do with executive courses. They gave up that responsibility last year.

Bet that most "enhanced" members bought this membership to get lower green fees and will re new due to a savings

Would help somewhat but most of the significant problems are not from overplay, but is from poor maintenance. Look at Glenview. Hardest course to get a tee time and is in best condition. Company who re did the course did a great job

Hey...it's the fault of El Nino....didn't you read the Daily Sun? BTW...how did Bay Hill escape El Nino?
🤔

I think your very close. I did a fairly lengthy run at putting numbers together, last year. I estimated the yearly revenue at $75M. One day in prime season of no play, using the #'s I came up with, gives me a total of $250,000. Just about the same as yours.

I am going to reiterate, there has been significant improvement at every golf course I play, in the last 2 weeks. Those courses are TDS, Palmer, Glenview & Mallory. Today at Palmer, I saw at least 8-10 "patches" in fairways and on greens. I've hardly ever seen that in TV. They're making an effort over the last 2 weeks. They've heard the rumblings.

You need to read the title of thread. The discussion involves Priority/Enhanced Members boycotting Championship golf courses.

& the Developer didn't "give up that responsibility last year".

You may want to educate yourself on priority golf in TV. Priority members pay every time they play. At a slightly discounted rate, but they pay. See above post about golf revenue.

Bay Hill paid off the people that run El Nino.:a040:

It's amazing what you can buy for 50 Tacos.

Good news things are improving.
What have they done in two weeks for things to improve?
All I read on TOTV is it will take time for any improvement, fire pros, fire supervisors , train the grass cutters and on & on.🤦
