List the course name in the title...roosevelt..
 
greens are really rough. and if you're a "golfer" not worth putting, but a fun course to play in any case.

to clarify "golfer" that would be people that just go through the motions, rarely if ever practice, putt out even 6" putts because you're supposed to, but think "mulligan" is a real golf term and have no faith in their swing so have a plethora of "water balls". They are great fun to play with, but it is very entertaining to watch their take on golf.

Not sure why an expert golfer would be playing Rosevelt?

What an amazingly arrogant post. I'll be sure to watch the real golfers, ( not those amateur "golfers" ) on TV soon. I will be sure to focus on whether they putt out even 6" putts. Apparently that is an important criteria for differentiation. I am glad to provide great fun for you if you happen to see me "play" "golf"

I’ve read this post couple times and still can’t believe it. You must be the guy who uses his range finder on every shot. If you’re so good join PGA tour and leave us alone. Hopefully I’ll never get you for a partner.

Go off site, their courses compared to our Championship Courses are as good as our Executive Courses.

need a miniature golf course here.. putting is easy and fun.. i don't play golf but enjoy the challenges of a good miniature course.

banjobob 09-20-2021 08:44 AM

I play the exec courses because the are free , my golf game is bogey from the gold tees ,to have fun and enjoy after golf events breakfast beer etc. A few gripes for those that ruin the holes on the greens by retrieving their ball with a putter , those that don't fix ball marks , those that don't rake the sand and those that play gold tees and takes two shots to get on the green, god grief play the green tees.

In reality, it’s only a game people play who have a lot of time on their hands.

Try the putt and play course, a challenge for putting without the mountain and goofy stuff.

I am an ambassador and completely agree with you

MrFlorida 09-29-2021 07:00 AM

Some days I play like a pro, some days I play like a beginner. So what ? It's suppose to be fun remember ?

Who is a Golfer. Someone with sticks in a bag and enough balls to play around.:bigbow:

I played Roosevelt yesterday, expecting poor green conditions. But, they were in much better condition than when I last played the course back in May. Very few crabgrass sprouts, which had been plentiful. I didn't have one putt where I had to worry about it being bumped off line by the grass that didn't belong. All of the missed putts were my fault.

HIgolfers 10-01-2021 06:49 PM

I also played Roosevelt on Sep 30 and if it’s in better shape now than May, I really am glad I didn’t play it then! Because yesterday I thought it was dreadful and wonder why it’s still open! Greens horrendous.

Why not?

My handicap is 2.3. I enjoy playing the executive courses. It’s good practice for my iron game, instead of going to the range. I guess you don’t understand enough about people who love golf to know this.

DrBrutyle109 10-06-2021 05:40 AM

Overall conditions in The Villages are average at best. Don’t get me wrong, I love having so many courses to choose from, both exec and champ. BUT after playing Osprey yesterday I have to say again, just average. Weeds on the green and some growing on the collar that are in need of mowing. Just to bad. Maybe it’s because there is not enough help. The prices we pay don’t add up to the course conditions. Sorry

DrBrutyle109 10-11-2021 05:48 AM

Again….how many do you want me to list that are better than ours?

Havana
 
I played Havana yesterday, there were weeds in the traps (between unraked footprints) as well as weeds on the greens. Generally, the course is disappointing and in untidy condition.

But, the pork entree in the Clubhouse was delicious.
