Golf Course Conditions
I’m not sure why, maybe due to the cold weather????
I pay to be an “enhanced” member…..then during peak season I pay $53 a round…..to constantly putt ON SAND !! The conditions are mediocre at best. I expect better for what we pay. |

I'll put them in order. 1. Don't like it? Move, or play somewhere outside of The Bubble. 2.The courses get too much traffic to be maintained better than they are. 3.While the enhanced membership ($971) for 12 months, and off-season green fees of around $40, and high-season greens fees of around $50 may seem like a good chunk of money, if you play 2 times a week, with the enhanced membership, that's around 6K/year. Not chump change, but if you are looking for high end private course conditions, that won't even get you in the door. Golf on the Championship Courses may not be "free", but it's definitely golf on a budget compared to a high-end private club. 4. I'm not here all year long, but I'm told conditions improve during the low usage, warmer, wetter months. 5. High traffic means a lot of maintenance, which around here, unfortunately, means a lot of sand. Or to quote Tony Soprano, "Whatcha gonna do?" |
Aerating is not scheduled at any course until June

I love the Bruce Springsteen song "Tougher than the rest", especially the line: "Around here, baby, I've learned you get what you can get". That applies to both finding Love and to finding a golf course to play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XQX-zRVK-w |

You get free (unless you consider the $2000 yearly amenity fee as an expense) golf for life on the executive courses but most of them seem to be like poorly maintained municipal courses.
|
Amenities don't just include golf and MOST of the executive courses are in great shape considering the volume of folks on them.

So please don’t tell me when I am standing on the green and look down and see holes….there’s no aeration! |
I'll go out on a limb here, and say that some course condition issues are directly related to inconsiderate golfers. How often do you see golfers fail to repair divots, or rake bunkers? Or, heaven forbid, fail to fix ball marks on greens? I also think the course maintenance crews do a darn good job, considering the sheer volume of play on these courses.
