Sweetgum condition
Golfed Sweetgum this afternoon I thought it just opened. I was very surprised to see the poor shape the T boxes are in. Most were so dry they were bare dirt almost. What’s going to happen when its even busier?

I am surprised to hear the course is so dry, wasn't it closed because of excessive rain?

Do you think they are trying to get them in the best condition? Or don't care.

I played there this afternoon and disagree with your comment about the T boxes.

The courses were all closed only because of the water basin(s)/levels...to protect the houses! Nothing to do with the courses. Unfortunately, they were probably left dormant, while waiting for the water to recede, then try to mow them and get them back in shape. It doesn't appear things worked well for SG? MG opened, but they decided to delay SG a bit more, but that apparently still wasn't sufficient?

I played Sweetgum this morning. The tee boxes were fine. There was one green that has some bare spots (number 8) but I cannot complain about the overall conditions.

It Appears we have different opinions about the playing shape of golf courses. I’ve seen this movie before on TOTV.

These posts sound like a restaurant review. You don't know who to believe.

Unfortunately, too many are quick to believe the negative comments.
