Wow, it’s getting more and more difficult to find a tee time as the “busy” season ramps up. However , at the last minute I found an opening for 4.

Volusia has been one of the most often played courses in The Villages. Just recently, Lowlands took over as the executive most often played in TV .

Volusia is in very good condition. The maintenance crews are doing a great job.

Tee boxes are in good shape. The greens are very good but some of the pin placements were a little sketchy 😳

The fairways were pretty good and have been allowed to grow out a bit . No more hardpan, no more “Villages roll” 😂

I would give Volusia an A rating.

I have never had a hard time getting a tee time or course, I put in a large window and many courses on my request. As it gets busy I am just happy to play where ever , and when ever.

Yep , I’m very familiar with the tee time system as my wife worked in the tee times office for nearly 4 years !

It becomes more difficult when you’re trying to get two tee times for a group of 7 or 8 players and then factor in everyone’s points .

If you’re a single player with a flexible schedule, you’ll get a tee time almost every time.

I use the open tee time feature when we get shut out and that works well ….

OP, thanks for the update on Volusia. I play with 3 groups but one is every other week. The groups average 8-10 golfers. I’m amazed how few times we don’t get tee times in the winter. As I remember, only three times for all three of these groups last winter. We play just about all the courses south of 466 and very flexible times. Fore…

That is a great attitude! 😎

There are always plenty of tee times available at the numerous Pitch and putts.
Seems that a couple could be converted into executive courses. Poor planning and reading demand

I played a Pitch and Putt once and havent gone back. The problem was I wasnt able to tee up the ball. The course had those tees that allow you to insert a real tee into it. They weren't working because they couldn't hold my tee straight up due to wear and tear. I refuse to hit a golf ball off a plastic mat. Bad for my clubs and hands.
Why they couldn't have "normal" teeing areas that have cement foundations and rubber tees?
