No and no need for further comment!

AGREE. Stay out of our wallets and purses. As always, trying to spend OPM.

NO WAY!! We should fire the golf course management and maintenance!! Get qualified INDEPENDENT management/course maintenance firm that cares, has good skill sets that will improve ALL the courses. They currently over cut (shave) the grass, poor
green's care and flat out waste our money. We need an AD HOC committee of resident owners to organize and check how our money is being wasted. It is not a money problem...we are flushed with money! WE ARE BEING HOSED!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good info in that article but left out one important issue why the courses are in bad shape, the people who play them. Every cart has a sand bottle less than 10% of them get used. For those who can hit the ball on the green only about 10% fox ball marks. Then let’s include those who think it is ok to drive a cart on the grass and you get an idea on why the grass is in the shape that it is. No matter of maintenance is ever going to make up for that.

I wonder how many non-residents are on the courses through out the year not giving a hoot about the wear and tear on the executive courses?

While a resident is supposed to be with their guests is that always enforced?

Not true. Guests who are at least 19 can play the executive courses without a resident.

You said it very well!

Or they could make the walkers pay their fare share.

I’m not sure what or why most of our executive courses are in such bad shape? It’s my understanding that courses in certain counties aren’t allowed to water as often as needed?? Maybe maintenance people would like to do better but aren’t allowed to water as often as they’d like?? Often when you ask the standard excuse for conditions is because the amount of play. To that I say, have you ever played Baseline in Ocala? That course sees an enormous amount of play but is always in wonderful shape compared to our executive courses?? So what gives? Why can’t we do better here? I don’t know everything that needs to happen behind the scenes but it does make me wonder why??

Do the people in charge of golf course maintenance (see post #7) ever have public forums where they take questions?

They do that now. Fair share is zero.

In a nut shell!
 

Well said!

That would be an innocent start to an inevitable march to pay to play with minimum course condition improvements. There is plenty of money in the developers purse to pay for maintenance. This is an unjustified price increase. John

Lopez Courses
 

Why are the courses around Lopez (Briarwod, Walnut Grove etc always in better shape then te rest of the courses? They get as much play based on what I see on the tee time service.

Looks like you can call them anytime.
Public forum……..that would turn into a shouting match!
