How many of the 693 holes of golf in the Villages have you played?
 
Golf Superintendents Keep Up Villages' 693 Holes From Behind the Scenes | Sports | thevillagesdailysun.com

I have a big fat zero for my number of holes of golf played here in the Villages and likewise for anywhere else as I never have played the game.

Anyone played all 693 holes? Got 693 holes in one?

We lived near a golf course in Rohnert Park, CA. Or, my parents did. So, I am no stranger to golf courses. The golf course in Rohnert Park was right out our back door as my parents house bordered the green. Welcome to Foxtail Golf Club

Well, I've played all 306 champ holes, and exactly 18 exec holes, with another 9 exec holes coming up on Thursday.

No one has 693 holes in 1, Mancil Davis holds the record with 51, but I'm sure plenty of Villagers have played all 693

Two Bills 08-16-2021 01:16 PM

Wife and I have played every Exec course north of 44.
Were going to play all the Execs south of 44 last year, but Covid said no!
Looks as though we will not be cluttering any courses this winter either, if entry to US is still denied.
We gave up championship courses when we found the walking getting a bit to much for us.
Still walk executives, as that is the proper way to play golf!:icon_wink:

You have been very busy.

I think my Mom got one hole-in-one here in the Villages.

Another question-----since there are 41 exec courses =369 holes and 306 champ holes (10x27+2x18), that equals 675 holes. Are you counting the anticipated opening of Southern Oaks 18, or the "pitch and putt" "courses", which shouldn't count?

Stu from NYC 08-16-2021 01:35 PM

If we count the putting course in Feeney I can proudly say I have played 9 holes.

The Villages Golf Guide | Inside the Bubble

Going by a statistic in The Villages Daily Sun today which mentioned 693 holes of golf.

How many golf courses are in The Villages?

Right now there are an astonishing 693 holes of golf spread out across 12 championship courses and 42 executive courses.

In case you were wondering, that’s more than any other community in the world!

Bosoxfan 08-16-2021 03:47 PM

I've played them all multiple times and have 1 jole in one

So, you know all golf courses here in the Villages as yet open. Cool!

thevillages2013 08-17-2021 05:30 AM

I have played all nines on all the championship courses and have played all executive courses with the exception of Mira Mesa, De La Vista, El Diablo and Silverlake

Villages Kahuna 08-17-2021 05:32 AM

I played with a guy once who took great pride in playing every hole at least once a year. He said he’d often play rounds both morning and afternoon.

It’s possible of course, but you’d have to be a master at using the golf tee time system and lucky with the weather. And you’d be clocking LOTS of miles on your golf cart

Over the 10 years I have been here, I have played them all, and many more outside of the villages.

The Marsh View Pitch & Putt is listed as an executive course. 18 holes, so there's your 693.

Bay Kid 08-17-2021 06:47 AM

Every hole north of Fenny many times.

LateBoomer 08-17-2021 06:52 AM

zero

TorriJ 08-17-2021 07:22 AM

We have played all 41 executive courses plus Marsh Bend. There are some beautiful executive courses here. That totals 369 + 18= 387. We have also golfed 45 holes of Championship golf for a total of 432.

DaleDivine 08-17-2021 08:00 AM

In 2019 my goal was to play every hole in TV. I succeeded in playing every championship hole, every executive course hole, pitch and putt hole and even putt and play hole.
Last year (2020) my goal was to play the most rounds. I succeeded in playing over 1000 rounds of golf on the executive courses and over 100 on the championship courses.
Made the front page of the Daily Sun sports section on December 11th 2020.
Love golfing in TV. Looking forward to the new courses opening.

noslices1 08-18-2021 06:39 AM

Including all the 19th holes, I’ve played at least 650 of the holes in TV.

All holes on championships, and all but 2 executives.

Wife an I played Pimlico with a chap who played 2-3-4 times a day.
He played as a single, and starters fitted him in with any group not a foursome.
He walked the course, same as us, and he was jolly good company.
He walked home as well.
Evidently his wife had the golf cart, as she played pickleball all day!!

We have been here since June of 2005 and I still have not played any golf here in the Villages. Some shuffleboard and billiards though and a little bit of swimming. Lots and lots of movies though. Probably went to 850 movies here in the Villages in that span. Very few since the Corona Virus arrived here however. Maybe 1 in the past year.
