I think there is a "magnet" in my golf ball...and the environmentally sensitive areas.

It's not a deal breaker for golfing those two great courses but it is unusual for The Villages to leave it that way.
Thanks - thought I was losing my mind for a minute. Yes the car park is paved but the cart park is not. I like the idea that was floated that this particular executive pair is very highly sensitive environmentally.

I agree it is due to the natural sensitivity of the area. In my opinion the adjective "dirty" is not at all appropriate.....sandy yes.....dirty? Hardly!!!! The area for the golf carts fits the natural surroundings.

If you feel the cart parking area is dirty.....how would one categorize the sand traps and bunkers? Just as dirty? Natural? Other
