I for one do not repair Ball marks on the greens nor do I rake the traps I have become one of the entitled. The powers to be don't really care about the conditions of the executive courses. I too don't care. I pay my dues and take what's there. It's really nice being one of the entitled, when next move is to get a handicap flag so I can drive right up to the greens. Sorry about this but that's the way I feel and no I'm not moving

Played Bogart Sunday. EVERY cup had been torn up by someone too lazy to remove the pin to retrieve their ball. Such a shame.

Sarasota...just got done playing Sarasota. Greens and tee boxes are in great shape, probably the best maintained executive course that I played all week. Kudos to their groundskeepers.

Somehow I feel like that’s the only part of the post that’s not true.

Played Bogart today, Weds, and you are correct. New flag rule might be reducing round time very slightly but cup are taking a beating for reason you stated. I also thought greens were very poor, even for this time of year. That said in all fairness I know nothing about maintaining golf greens.

R, X Villager.

I play every other day, and have never had a problem getting a tee time, unless you are looking for a time to the minute and a specifiic course.
I put a two and a half hour window, with a 'time to start' of 0130pm, and I get it within twenty minutes either way every time.
I give a selection of courses that I prefer.

Play Walnut Grove if you want to see it done right!

I've never played on an exec with "deplorable" greens. And coming from NY, the greens fees on the champs are very reasonable, especially after 2

The greens are horrible and bunkers are filled with too much sand. Use the sand for the divot bottles and buy some rollers to use weekly. Problem solved

The greens and tee boxes on Silver Lake were in decent shape yesterday except for untouched fresh ball marks.

I could not agree with you more....They are atrocious! A complete embarrassment to The Villages. Seems like all the focus and money is going into Fenney and they are ignoring what's here.

Boy do I agree..... honestly I sometimes play an 18 hole 4500 yard course in PA literally maintained by a farmer that costs $11.00 to play.... their green are better than these.... if these incompetents are not removed then the Villages has duped their residents.... most are not fit to putt on...extremely disappointing....will ultimately impact home values... sets a new standard for mediocrity

[Bruce zapolski]

Can you believe the villages charges a guest $14 to play a executive course when you guys are done with that round I bet your guest is not your friend anymore .
