You pay $179 just for pitch and putt golf? Seems pretty steep!!

Golf Central sells plastic tees for use on mats. Very simple round ball stands of various heights.

Really? I live on a golf course and have opportunity to witness first hand the skill level of golfers. As a whole, I’d say 98% of them are beginners, a few intermediate…in house landscaping looking for their wayward balls, ball retrievers pulling balls out of water, clubs scouring the tall grass bushes looking for balls, etc. Ha! I love it….even saw a guy take his club and throw it into the marsh…wonder what he told his wife in order to replace it?? LOL 😂 😆

Yeah, really.

How much you pay was and is not the issue. The Villages boast about golf and the pitch and putts and they should be kept up to at least a playable condition. They are aweful and unputtable. But they are building some more. Take care of what is already in use.

I suspect that they've "downsized" their golf to pitch and putt and putt and play to use as much land as possible for profitable houses. Expect MiniGolf to be next.

Well, considering they are building both... I doubt it...

Except for the two 18-hole courses that are planned. I suspect that they have not "downsized".

And don't forget the several new Executive courses either under construction or planned to be built...

Sandhill cranes don't cut. They puncture. They're hired to aerate the courses. That is unless they are Chechen mafia sandhill cranes. Those birds carry switchblades and will cut your fairways soon as look at you.

Duh, why do you think I put “cuts” in quotes?

Hackers pay amenity fees too.

[Hardlyworking]

So what? At least to hit the ball first on a pitch and putt and then get out on the executive courses like Sarasota.

In the fairway portion of the hole the areas that had been cut there were piles of dead cut grass over what was grass. The mats were like trying to hit off concrete. Totally unacceptable. Probably worst course we have played.

Green rolled on a pitch and putt???????????

We're lucky if they roll the championship courses every other year

Welcome to the Villages.

I agree I’ve lived on 2 golf courses here and also at the Bay Hill Country Club in Orlando , people seem to show there true colors screaming at there wife’s and friends , hacking up the greens and yes throwing there clubs , even at Bay Hill a lot of bad golfers and quite rude , I ran into Arnold Palmer once after finishing a run, he said to me I see you running but I never see you playing golf , I told him I don’t play , he was silent for a minute and then said very smart a whole lot less frustration in your life to worry about lol
