The putting greens put every championship course the Villages is providing to SHAME.

Did you ask them why?

Is it that they don’t get the wear and tear that the Villages’ courses get?

Or are they maintained better?

Just an observation on conditions of a golf course.

They are so much better than EVERY championship course I have played in the last month, albeit most of them were closed for weeks. Tierre Del Sol might compare.

The real question - what is the price comparison all up all in ?

I appreciate the review on the putting surfaces, but what is the rest of the course like?

I guess it's a good thing The Villages bought that course 2 years ago for future growth, huh?

CCC is one of our go-to courses outside The Villages and the greens are just one of the reasons. They have done a wonderful job over the last few years of completely replacing their irrigation system, building new cart trails and maintaining the course all year long regardless of whether its summer Bermuda or winter over seed. And their prices are certainly better than The Villages.

What wear and tear in The Villages? Have you played a round in the afternoon wave? We had tee times at 11:56 and 12:04 on a couple of Villages courses recently and there was NO ONE behind us.

But the tee boxes and fairways are terrible. Why not #### there

HORNET 08-30-2024 07:53 AM

Terrible

Length of Rough
 
I played Tequesta at Belle Glade an Ft.Walton at Bonifay the day they reopened. It appears the rough had been cut higher so that you have to be standing over it to find it should you hit it there. And then trying to hit out of It is near impossible. My foursome on Wednesday was astonished the challenge it brought. What do you think.

Why are you hitting into the rough? Stay in the short stuff and you do not have that problem. If you hit into the rough you should be penalized, not where you should be.

Rough, like fairway bunkers should cost you about 1/2 stroke on average. NOT stroke, distance and a golf ball

You didn't care for the fairways, did you?
