Me too. You call those greens good? Guess it's all got to do with expectations.

[mickey100]

Well, my expectations are generally above what many here are finding acceptable. We played Torri - found the greens consistent, good speed i.e. not too fast or too slow. This was Friday (yesterday). There were a couple of small areas on a green or two that had a moss like growth on them but it was not near the cup and didn't interfere with play. Which courses on Lopez did you not like and when did you play? I'm still not thrilled with their sand traps - they have lots of little pebbles.

Erin's greens were terrible when I played last saturday. Big sand circles and large pathes with no grass. What a shame. Arlington Ridge's greens and fairways are far superior to any of the Village's courses.

This weekend's Father's Day special was golf with cart, good lunch and free beer for $24.95. And free replays all day even after your lunch. It''s worth the 25 minute drive.

Sounds like a great deal. I played Arlington about 5 years ago and really like it. We must have gotten lucky with Torri - will avoid Erin for awhile!

Played Cane Garden Friday (Hibiscus to Jacaranda) and found conditions to be pretty good overall. The wonder of rain, I guess. Greens were lush and not bumpy at all, but somewhat slow. Fairways were the best I've seen at Cane.

Most 55 Adult communities end up selling their golf courses following build-out. I know----TV isn't "most" retirement communities. Point is don't be surprised. Given the condition of many of the championship courses this past winter----that might not be such a bad thing. However, there could be many reasons for the poor conditions (some we aren't privilege to) but,for sure, more maintenance and better is needed. We attended the LPGA event at Lopez this winter and they did a great job of getting it ready for the Tournment----so it can be done.

If the championship Golf Courses are sold then what affect does that have on the Priority P[B]rograms? Does that eliminate residents rates. It would seem that only one rate will apply. Residents will lose evn more than they are losing now. Golf is central to th[B]e reason people moved here. It appears the so-called Lifestyle is sipping away from us.. If so what's left.....an ove priced house.

Hopefully, with all this rain lately, all the courses will rejuvenate!!

be careful the posse will catch you, and make you drink more kool aid

The rain sure has slowed down the complaints about the golf courses. Raining very strong at the moment.

Cane's greens were very good today. And there was actually some rough
