I have found the conditions of the champioship courses to be much better. Played Glenview Monday, it was in very good shape. Played Hacienda Wednesday,it has never been better. I hope this trend continues.

On the executives lately, the greens are looking a little seedy.
[get it?] |

Yes the executive courses have a high volume of players, however the condition of the greens reflects plain and simple lack of proper maintenance. And it seems more prevalent on courses south of 466 than those north of 466. |
As I understand it they push to open the courses before they are really ready so it takes longer for them to achieve the quality we all want. If the waited longer they might be in better shape but there would be a golfers uprising. I'm concerned that they will take the same approach with Belle Glade....anyone remember the first years at Bonifay?

It's not a problem....

Now if you'd rather play on dormant bermuda grass(100% of all tee, fairway, rough and greens grass)then let them know, but you won't be happy then. Patience. |

I have to agree. I think the condition of the championship courses is far superior to last year. The rain has certainly helped, but maintenance has been a factor also. The next time you are out there thank a mower or other worker for providing a beautiful environment for us. |
played Mallory today....found the conditions very good. I hope this is a trend.
|
Cool evenings warm days= great growing weather. It happens every year at this time !!!!
|
I am just hoping for consistent conditions in the Villages this year.
There's always only certain courses in good condition and then you have to hope that the course you are playing was not recently overseeded or aerated... I'd like to see where all the courses are on a similar schedule and the greens perfect. This time of year the greens are usually much slower than other fl courses outside the villages... |
Cane Gardin was awful today.
|
And how would they make them consistent?

If "awful"....

It happens every year. If you want great conditions then wait till it grows completely in and they've had time to mow it and roll it....otherwise come and play when you courses are uniformly great....that'd be in August and September. Welcome to Florida and annual migration of the northern grouse.... |
no Fred I'm first talking about getting delayed on every hole by the sprinklers on Hibiscus yesterday. I see no reason to get wet and delayed on every green at 9:30 in the morning. As for great conditions some of you talk about, I have been playing these golf courses for 5 years now and the word great rarely is used for these golf courses. At times they are very good, but not enough of the time. Most of the time they are OK for lack of a better term. cane which is my favorite layout seems to have more problems than other courses. It is rarely in very good shape,never great and most of the time very ordinary. To me its quite obvious that my standards for great are much higher than some other posters.
