Course closures
 
Why are courses still closed? This is not how The Villages operated even a few years ago.

I’m guessing you weren’t here when Irma impacted The Villages in 2017. When the courses are underwater, they can’t be used.

Have you seen the courses? Many greens have combo sand/water hazards around them
And the golf carts will destroy the wet turf.

I really do hope that the original post is a joke. Less than 48 hours ago, a major hurricane roared through the area!

I'll bet it could be because a hurricane might have just gone through Florida, just going out on a limb on this one..... Original poster is joking, right?

Tough choice… Flooded golf courses or flooded homes.

I see from your previous posts that you are a fan of pitch and putt. Maybe they are still open?

Take a look at a few courses and thank the folks who designed this system

ROCKETMAN 10-12-2024 11:07 AM

Like a few people posted hope the first post was a joke. It will take a few days to dry out, maybe even a week for some. Compared to others who suffered, don’t complain.

nhtexasrn 10-12-2024 11:20 AM

You can't be serious.....tell me you're joking.

I guess you use floater balls, most courses are still flooded.

Stu from NYC 10-12-2024 05:32 PM

Ponds are larger than the fairways

Rwirish 10-13-2024 04:31 AM

This is exactly how the golf courses operated before. Many were closed for about 40 days after Hurricane Erma.

Perhaps its best to have your home flooded?

Really? They should be closed for a while, too many idiots go out and ruin it with golf carts.

They’re not, but that isn’t stopping “some people” who are above things like that.

Really?? I mean really?? Come outside for a moment and observe the amount of cleanup going on around The Villages. Then consider how extensive that would be on the golf courses. And they need vehicles to move all the "blow down" from the courses which should leave ruts in the super saturated turf deep enough to hide a cow in. And what about golfers on the courses the are driving buggies (and often not staying on the paths as instructed). So, hating to answer a question with a question, but is yours a real inquiry or a joke?

bowlingal 10-13-2024 06:16 AM

Dcurrie...you have got to be kidding. There was a HURRICANE. If you want to know about the course closings....go to the villages website There, you will find a complete listing of course closings ( both championship and Executive) and as they also start opening. You must be VERY new here, shame on you. As someone else said, were you here in 2017 when Irma hit? Find something to do and stop complaining.

Bridget Staunton 10-13-2024 06:39 AM

I certainly hope you’re correct. I think some people are in the twilight zone maybe slept thru Milton . Thank God there is not much damage in the area except roofs. The person that posted should be grateful there alive

Southwest737 10-13-2024 06:46 AM

Enhanced membership.
 
If championship golf is unavailable for two weeks will us enhanced members get an extension on the renewal date?
