Play at your own risk, lol! I heard the fairways were like dust. I suspect its not as good as Mallory, not that Mallory is anything special.

Me thinks someone gave you bad info. Grass in fairways but it is brown (dormant) whereas the overseed at Mallory is similar to hitting off of hard pan. Winter and heavy play have been tough on courses. Noticed on Orlando news/weather tonight that sumter county is now in a severe drought. Not good..........

I will be staying at TV in Feb and March and will be a single golfer. Will I find it hard to get a game?

No, just go to the course or call the starter shack or put in the tee time system, request for one. See www.Golfthevillages.com

Default cane
played Cane yesterday a total disgrace. Fairways at best were sparse,greens were very slow and inconsistent. The entire experience was a disappointment. A $48 greens fee is a joke.

Thanks for the head up Waynet. I'll probably skip Cane for awhile. I agree, the winter rates here, for what you get, are a joke. We're priority members, so there is a discount, but still. If you're not a priority member, much better deals outside The Villages. Palmer, Havana and Lopez have been consistently pretty good. The others, not so.

I'm taking a chance and playing Hacienda on Sunday. Will post afterwards.

Played Glenview today with our regular Friday group (16 golfers). Course is in very good condition. Fairways T boxes and greens all very plush. Nice speed on the greens. Best I have seen this course in a while.

Do not follow where the path may lead.
Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Played Glenview this afternoon and I agree that it is in great shape. Course was very crowded but we played in 4 hrs 15 minutes.

Then again, you can play Orange Blossom with a Priority Membership for $24 and it it is in much better condition than Cane is.

Cane is not worth the $33 priority rate either. It's just in real bad shape.

Wonder why we have no water ------ Still confirmed that Niagara was getting the bulk of the water it uses now to bottle from Wildwood Springs Inc., a company based in Wildwood with a permit to pump up to 552,000 gallons of water per day.
