That is the issue - a lot of people think it is broken.
Just read the posts about the condition of the executive and championship courses! |

Since you have time, I suggest that a good place to begin is to develop an understanding of all the parts and pieces of "The Villages". It is well worth the time. Take a look at Resident Academy (hopefully the still offer it). |

Shoulda, woulda, coulda! I don't golf now but used to. My other 1/2 does and has for years, so not a rooky. I never hear complaints! A different slant on this "conversation"----it seems no matter what the subject, there are folks who seem to be "experts" or have opinions on how things should be going. One common comment is----"we didn't have this/that where we came from!!" A couple of people on here hit it on the head---T.V. is a business and it's to build houses. NOT provide you stellar (fill in the blank) whatever you feel we need. Would it all be wonderful and nice? Yep!! Central Florida was a rural area and not a metro one. People here came for "Life-styles"---loved what they saw and decided to move here. From all the complaints it seems "some" didn't do their homework. Think the prison and the quarry as well as the Interstate!!! THIS is MY opinion!!! On another note----social media sites are great entertainment!!

So no one knows the answer to my question? Did the Developer ever self-maintain the Championship Golf Courses (post-construction)? Did the controlling CDD's ever self-maintain the Executive courses in their portfolio or contract out the maintenance to a single entity? |

Golf Course Maintenance
The course maintenance is difficult with the amount of play at this time of year. Not only for the executive courses but also the championship ones.
With the growth of TV to the south new golf courses are not keeping pace with the population growth. They keep adding pitch and putts and putting courses. While fun to play they do not reduce the play on the traditional courses. Seems like houses on land instead of new courses is the priority. Perhaps for guests and renters there should be a limited amount of times a week they can play. Also for every so many new villages added there should be a requirement for 1 new executive course. The number could be higher for championship courses. |

The developer still owns the course.

The CDD's & the Developer out-source all golf course maintenance. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the outside contractors have business relationships with the people involved with the aforementioned entities, but that's strictly wild speculation. |

The Villages (or the various neighborhoods) is not a business, it is a community. The "Developer" is a business. The CDD's are GOVERNMENT. The Developer promised everyone who bought a home in TV, reasonable access to decent golf. The CDD's obligation, is to maintain the infrastructure and amenities the Developer provided and promised the residents. This is no different than someone who bought a home on a beautiful, private, tree lined street a developer built and then the city or town turned it into a dirt road. They'd be hell to pay. It really is that simple. |

Not all championship courses are sourced to outside maintenance crews. Two or possibly three courses are maintained by maintenance staffs that are employees of TV’s….not the district. SO is one course maintained by a staff employed by TV’s.

I was told by numerous sources, that all the Championship courses were out-sourced for maintenance. I'd be curious to know which courses are maintained by actual employees of the Developer. |
