I am visiting the site lol haha....i am a golfer. a lousy one. and no humility here. i quite stink. but i quite love the game so im out there swinging away haha. my husband and i agree it depends on which executive golf course you are speaking about..it seems to us.that they are not all created EQUAL HERE. WHICH BUMS ME OUT. WE LIVE near the churchill pimico and belmont executive courses.. and i think they are really ratty imho, but then when we play at hawks bay...they seem to be in fine condition. go figure. i dont know why some are in better shape than others...but in my humble opinion..it just depends on where you are going. by the way it has rained i think here for about 3 weeks..and it looks like we had some rain this summer, we are drying up again. i guess new york needed to send us some of their precipitation huh? thanks for reading this. take care.

Just back from a week over in the villages and played 7 rounds in 7 days, I thought the courses were in pretty good condition, enjoyed the golf on Lopez, Glenview, Tierra del Sol, Havana, Cane Garden, Hacienda Hills, Palmer.....the overseeding was looking good and nice and green if not a bit fluffy and long..

Recently played Palmer, Hacienda, Cane Garden, Havana, Evans Prairie and Tierra Del Sol. I have to say the courses were in fairly good condition. Better than last year.

The most improved was Cane Garden. Big improvement from last year but still needs some TLC. Palmer was in very good condition. Evans Prairie was ok. It needs to mature a little more. It has the same "feel" as Bonifay.

Played World Woods. Best public course in Florida. About an hour drive.

With the new 2013 rates kicking in today, just "fairly good conditions" doesn't cut for $50 greens fee. Plus we're using our own carts. Supprised there isn't a championship trail fee to boot. These "Winter Rates" are until April 30th. That's a month too long. Easter is March 31st and alot of snowbirds are gone by then. Talk about greed. Guess as long as people will pay it, "stick it to them".
