We played Bonifay, Destin, last evening. A picture is worth a thousand words so I am attaching a couple of pictures of the "green" on hole #5 and the tee box on hole #6. Nuff said.

Thank you, that's what we're talking about. The words "cow pasture" come to mind.

What does your husband think is the reason for this? Did I read he is a golf pro?

Posters keep saying we are a "captive audience". Not really true, unless you don't own a car. A captive audience has no other choice. If you are unhappy with golf within The Villages, there are many courses available to you off campus, which are cheaper in many cases (see the many golf discounts advertised in The Daily Sun). I am not pleased with some course conditions at the moment, but I value the convenience of driving my golf cart directly to the course, so I put up with the less than great conditions. Since Mallory was in much better shape last week, my group is returning there tomorrow. But we'll avoid HH and Lopez until we hear there have been improvements.

The conditions will never change --- its been 9 years for me and they get progressively worse each year--you can not fight city hall - so i just keep telling all of friend that ask about tv that the golf course conditions are bad to worse. I have and will continue to post my feeling on social media - and were reviews of courses are available - i give a review of a 2 of 5 - i will continue to do this until things change -- maybe the pocketbook will help create a difference.. sorry to all of you and your husbands who dont mind the conditions,

But a case could be made that those who don't mind are the lucky ones, and that sympathy should be directed to those who so severely suffer due to the conditions. |

Havana - 3 out of 5. Greens are pretty rough around the edges. Portions of fairways are bare or have little grass.

I just returned from a trip to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Greens there are smooth, green, and beautiful. So are the fairways. I'm not sure what makes the difference, but the difference is huge.

And the point is? One could go to a lot of places and compare, so what?

I think the point could be argued that the people who might be called "greenskeepers"
at The Villages have absolutely no idea what they are doing. |

What is your point ???????? I for one am interested in other areas and their conditions. have you been to other courses or do you keep playing the cow pastures. Maybe some of us should leave the bubble and see what a real golf course is suppose to look like.. I dont think there is any defense for the conditions at tv |
