I'm thinking they do that so the old duffer can top a golf ball and let it bounce and roll 110 yards on to the green while the other three in the group yell "nice shot!"

Shut down. No choice. Very bad shape

Yes, there’s lot of play on the executives. But i think the problem is the maintenance contractors.

DTE does a fine job maintaining all the ones they are responsible for.

In the winter time, appears that only the greens are cut and not every day.

Please be specific...

That is my point. There is no room to build more courses. So we are just short 10 executive courses which helps explain a lot of the "denials" in the golf reservation system.

No, there is plenty of room. It's just that the room is available on the SW side of the turnpike, not along the narrow strip of development along Morse & Meggison...

And that is why they are currently building another championship, executive and pitch & putt just over the Bexley Bridge, with plans the build many more...

From the time Lowlands opened in 2019 through year 2023 there will have been approximately 17,000 new homes added to The Villages. Since a new Executive course has not been built in 3+ years, those of us in the South have no choice but to put extreme pressure on all the courses North of us.

The other side of that coin is, those south of 44 head more than a few years of excess executive courses, since it took 4 years for those 17K new homes to be built...

How is that fair?
