Default Truman course is embarrassing 5/12

Course should be closed
Greens have weeds all over which deflects putts.
Even though the lack of rain traps are mud holes that players have trampled through and not raked for what looks like weeks.

I'm seeing lots and lots of executive courses like this. Courses in north Villages are in pretty good shape.

I played Heron Friday and the greens and tee boxes were terrible as well and this was always one of my favorite courses...

Amen to the conditions at Truman. It needs a lot of work.

Crap, playing Truman this afternoon. I just don't understand why the northern courses are ALWAYS in much better shape than the rest of the courses. This really needs to be addressed!

Very disappointing post. I just purchased a new home in Cason Hammock and did not expect to see these type of course conditions at ANY golf course at TV. Golf Course Quality was near the top of the list!!

Bad conditions open up more T time slots. They will fix them in oct in time for the birds to return

Default Truman

See a note to person in charge of mtc for our exec courses. Maybe if they get enough of them, they will go and take a look.

My husband wrote to them about the conditions of Truman and Southern Star yesterday. I hope everyone who has concerns is also following up with an email.

You have choices, nowhere else do have 650 hole plus available. When you sign up to play course you have to play the conditions like everybody else has to. So, you lost few strokes to conditions, big deal. I suspect the bad conditions are attributed to heavy traffic and some golfers adding to problem.
