Driving by the Tally Ho nine at Glenview Country Club on almost a daily basis I have watched the rennovation, re-construction, or whatever is happening. I have not read or even heard rumors of exactly what is being accomplished. I certainly hope, with all the new grasses developed for courses, that the Villages is attempting to progess into, at the very least, a grass that does not require overseeding. Having been a member at numerous country clubs over the years when a major rennovation as this was undertaken the membership was always in the loop as to what was being undertaken and what the improvement would mean tho the quality of the course. Is this a secret or have I just missed the announcement?

Different kind of membership in TV.
Even if we knew all of the details...........what difference would it make?

I really don't think the membership is all that different in TV. Public and private courses usually tell the players what is going on with renovations because they are supposedly improving the golf course. What would be the problem with management telling the paying customer what is happening at Glenview? As for new grasses,don't hold your breath. Remember Orange Blossom and Tierra?

Our Club membership (if you can call it a membership) doesn't give us a vote or say in the Championship TV Courses. On the other hand, we don't have assessments either.

Fortunately I no longer have to deal with course or club interests....that is one of the many favorable things about living here....I've played some of the finest courses and some cow pastures and the one constant...get the ball into the hole...
While the conditions vary season to season they do a wonderful job on all the courses considering the amount of play and tough conditions(don't kid yourself...to keep this many courses in playable condition in this heat is expensive!!!!)...so I take the changes in conditions in stride and accept the wide variety(best consistent conditions so far have been in Sept/Oct)as another challenge to overcome... Of course to have such a mind set you can't sweat the little things and golf in the larger scheme of it all is quite a small thing...in my oh-so-humble opinion.... |

They tell me when rec center pools will be closed, boil water alerts, and other updates. I haven't noticed information on improvements to golf courses, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's there.

Due to the heavy usage this winter almost all of the courses were/are in need of repairs. I'm sure if you contact TV customer service they will put you in touch with someone that can explain what is happening and how long it will take.

As for Glenview, ask the head professional, ask the staff, call golf course management. I doubt that it's a big secret. |

I read about the Glenview maintenance to that nine somewhere. I have to assume it was in the Daily Sun.

Being a Member in TV means simply that you live here and are entitled to pay the going rates and fees to play on these ****tier than most conditioned golf courses. The layouts aren't too bad but the maintenance sucks. And again, you ain't really a member in anything. (When's the last time you were notified of a "Membership Meeting")? The answer is to stop bitching because it's abundantly clear that no one of authority cares.

I think it's hard to compare your course in Port Charlotte to The Villages courses with respect to grass maintenance and durability. I have no doubt that your course was nice. |

Didn't Glenview have a problem with flooding? Possibly a correction?
