Pimlico Executive Course
Played Pimlico Wednesday afternoon, which was my first course I played since I arrived Tuesday the 1st. My first impression was "I understand why these courses are free". The greens were extremely slow and bumpy, it will be a while before I play it again. But let me say, I have played several executive courses since then and now understand that Pimlico is not the standard other executive courses at the Villages follow. I will enjoy my golf here very much.

Welcome to the forum. I see you are from Columbia MO. The "Show Me" State. I hope The Villages show you a lot of nice things and you learn to love it as I do.

Sorry to hear that Pimlico was not in good shape. Frankly, I haven't played it in several months. They can turn these courses around in a couple of months. A good example of that was Sweetgum down south. It was in terribles shape in March and played it recently and the greens were in excellent shape.
Welcome to TV and TOTV.

This is the first time I have ever met a person prior to their first post.
My wife and I were paired up with them Friday for nine holes. My golf was not very good, but they know golf and are fun people and will be great additions to The Villages if they decide that is right for them. I look forward to his course evaluations...

If your first impression...

There will be 36 executives here and you will find some in great condition(8 to 9 on the stimpmeter...and quite smooth if you're among the first out in the a.m....not unlike most professional courses with bermuda grass)and some needing quite a bit of care and rest due to the amount of play, weather conditions, turf problems and bad luck... So before getting ahead of yourself and making snap judgements....get all the facts...then proceed...all it takes is patience...pontification ended. |

I played Pimlico today and thought it was fine. The greens seemed smooth and fast enough for me. Both me and my wife and my playing partners had some good short and long putts. I wasn't happy with the sand traps but that was my problem.
This was the first course I have played in a while that hasn't had the aeration bumps on the greens. But from reading a post in this thread, it is coming. Z |

GREAT, after playing some other courses I thought it would improve soon. My comment was based on the day we played.
