Mallory Hill Golf
 
Not to steal the thread, but it is titled Mallory Hill. Has anyone played golf there since the reopening, and if so, have the greens fully recovered?

They have, but all the courses are getting aerated, sanded and seeded.

Hmmm, thanks for the information. Apparently the aeration is not happening according to the posted schedule. I guess it is wort checking with the course for their aeration schedule versus looking at the Golf the Villages website.

Played Amelia to Caroline late last week; the greens and fairways were really good.

Played Caroline to Virginia yesterday. Greens are in good shape but pretty slow and little inconsistent. Fairways are the usual, which in my case always turns out to be a downhill wedge off hardpan over a bunker to a tight pin:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

The aeration schedule is not up to date, as you correctly noted. I tried calling the Priority Golf office and they gave me incorrect info. They said only the closed nines at each course are being aerated and then are being given time to recover before re-opening. That is not true. I think the only solution (tho tedious) is to call every course.

Greens have recovered. Disappointed in the fairway conditions. Typical TV conditions , dry and hard and very tight grass.

We played Amelia to Caroline last Thursday and fairways are decent and greens are very good. Wouldn't worry about it at all. Now if I can shoot a 40 on Caroline, the conditions had to be good!!!

The shot you described is a guaranteed chunk for me. Fairway grass is thin,low and the ground below it is like concrete.

This is very strange. I did not start this thread, but instead responded to the OP's original post about the food a Mallory. Somehow the OP's original post got deleted and I show up as the OP? That's why post #1 starts with "Not to steal the thread". Never had that happen before?

Played Amelia a week ago. Greens were decent.

MStewart73 05-15-2020 06:18 AM

Played Mallory yesterday good shape greens were very good just a little slow

Have played Mallory twice since reopening. Greens are good but not mowed tight enough. Fairways and tee boxes are the best in The Villages.

Not sure where you've been the last few years, but the overseeding of greens and fairways was stopped at least 4-5 years ago.

Played Mallory last week and it’s in great condition. The starter told us that most of the courses had the greens punched during the shutdown when only 18 holes were being used. Mallory won’t be punched agin until August. Don’t know about the other courses.
