Whether the villages does or not, my group does, kinda like unmarked ground under repair.

Ditto!

[Bogie Shooter]

That makes sense, play to enjoy the game.

Erin Glen and Ashley Meadows and they were excellent condition! Easy to see that Nancy Lopez has been given the best of care!

We got in 9 holes at Palmer(Riley Grove) before the lightning came. Course in excellent condition. Greens nice and fast.

I'm excited about my first trip to TV. I'll be arriving on 8/8 and will be down until 8/30. My goal is to play golf 10 times during my stay and meet as many people as possible. I'm trying out a set of left handed Adams A7os hybrids from the golf pro shop which I hope to purchase if all works out.
Being I'm alone any particular courses I should gravitate toward playing given conditions and my desire to meet people. How much in advance do I need to sign up to paired with others. I won't have my pass until I arrive so I don't think I can go into the system to get a Tee time. Also not being used to the summer Florida heat what is best time to play, early morning or late afternoon. What time do tine courses open and close?
I'm used to CT not Florida although last week it was 102 degrees in Hartford and 93 in TV. I was telling everyone that I was going to TV to cool down. Looking forward to meeting some of you.

Best courses to play as of now are Palmer, Nancy Lopez, Glenview and Havana in my opinion. I would stay away from Cane Garden Hibiscus course and Hacienda Hills.Haven't played Orange Blossom or Tierra Del Sol in a few weeks so I can't comment on them. As far as playing time, most like the early morning T times but I prefer the sfternoons . It may just be me but the early morning hours seem more humid than the afternoon hours.
Hope this helps and enjoy yourself.

Larry,
I have found it easy to find time slots as a single golfer, the day before or two days before. I am also left handed and plan to try out the A7os hybrids, let me know how you like them, I will be down in September for 4 days, may try them out.

[BigEast]

ljones190,

I let you know my experience with the Adams hybrids.

Larry

If you played the days it was 100+ you will love florida - play any course and meet many people that you will have something in common with

Fairways are being aerated today on Hemingway so that will need some time to recover. Too bad it was not scheduled for yesterday then it could have benefited from the 2" of rain last night.

[schotzyb]

Is there a schedule posted somewhere for the fairways to be aerated?. I found the one for the greens on golfthevillages.com but cannot find one for the fairways on different courses.

[hedoman]

Just got back from 10 days in paradise to do some things around the homestead. Played Glenview (Tally/Fox), Palmer Cherry/Riley?& Lopez (can't remember names). Called in the morning and got tee times early. Met some great guys and the courses were fabulous. The rains have really helped. We live on Glenview Stirrup and can tell you it is in fine shape. Played Men's day at Saddlebrook exec and it was fine too. All had pretty fast greens

I play Adam's A7's not OS but great clubs IF you have the right shaft

I have not found one. Paper today simply said that Hemingway was closed all day today and tomorrow Kilimanjaro will be closed all day. It does not say why but if it were for aeration then I really would like to know that.
