Default Southern Oaks

Very good condition today.

Grass everywhere...............greens, fairways, roughs, tee boxes.

Not busy at all.

Less than 3 hour round for the two of us.

Large slowdown on the interstate this morning, so it wasn't as noisy as usual.

Do the fairways still run like you're on the interstate?

Impacted greatly by moisture..............the whole course appears to be watered nicely.

Seems to be quite a bit more grass on fairways and definitely thicker greens.

Get what you pay for? Havana = lots of bare and thin spots on greens for $5 less. Given the choice, I'll take grass on the greens for a few bucks more.

You don't want to pay $70, to play a green airport, with flags stuck in the ground?

Probably a violation and a 30 day vacation.

Most courses include a cart as part of the greens fees. Adding a cart fee to these overpriced greens fees is just a ripoff, posted or not.

Hey buddy !

You’re not in Kansas anymore !

Please let me know if you need a translation !!

You get a discount if you’re a Villages resident !!

As a regular resident, you’ll pay $75.50

As a non-resident, you’ll pay $97

Quite the bargain, don’t you think !! LOL !!!

Where does this happen?

I've yet to find a course in the DC/MD/VA area that includes a cart...
