By now , everyone should know that Pimlico has reopened after a complete makeover.

We played there on Sunday and all I can say is WOW !🤩

What a fantastic job the crew did on this course . Plush and green all over .

Tee boxes are fantastic, nice and flat and plush.

The greens are soft and receptive and the current speed is medium. Nice grass collar around the greens so there is no “hard pan” chipping.

What else is there to say but to give it an A+ rating …..

Played it today and its very nice. Only complaint is the green on #8 is no longer a crazy downhill challenge. I thought that was the coolest green in The Villages. Now it's just ordinary.

I agree, the two level green was fun. I guess that was too much for a level 2 course.

Amazing what happens when courses are new and built properly ������

The hole was so much fun when the pin was on the upper tier and your ball was on the bottom. You just wanted to get it up there anywhere on top to avoid the ball rolling back. Just a unique green that I thought was the signature hole on the course.

We played Pimlico on Saturday, June 7th, and were disappointed. Sure...they did a great job rejuvenating the course. But, it's the lazy "golfers" who will run it into the ground. Several tee boxes had numerous large divots that had not been filled. On virtually every green, there were tons of unrepaired ball marks. In my foursome, each of us repaired 3 or 4 ball marks on every green, in addition to our own. Unraked bunkers loaded with footprints. And, you can't blame this abuse on the snowbirds...they're gone. At this rate, it won't take long for Pimlico to become just another ho-hum executive course.

I can’t agree with you more !

Has anyone ever heard of anyone being suspended for a week or so for not repairing divots or pitch marks or raking bunkers?

Or the marshalls could do it.

Never heard of it and it will never happen.

The “ambassadors” have no real authority.

The philosophy of the Golf Administration is to avoid controversy and don’t rock the boat .

Yeah I played it alone on Wednesday, since I always had a wait, I spent a lot of time walking the greens fixing pitch marks. I just don’t get people.

Agreed. Played there yesterday, Sun. The maintenance crew did the absolute minimum when mowing the greens. No clean up pass along the edge of the greens, every green had the saw tooth pattern along the collars. But overall, the course was in very good shape. I actually had a twosome who was following our four yell at me from the tee box as I was raking a bunker!?! I guess they were late for a dinner reservation.
