Wondering how different Championship golf course conditions are this week. Have company coming in and need to know which places are best to play.
Please comment if you have played championship courses recently. thanks

Glenview..............great shape, some of the best greens.

Evans Prairie.................really good shape. Spots on a few greens getting worked on.

Havana................has really come back from all the horror stores, good to go.

Belle Glade..........consistently in good shape.

Bonifay.............no issues noted.

All of the above were played in the last week to ten days.

Cane Garden played two weeks ago................good good shape.

Or you could look down the page of forum titles and just look at the Course Conditions forums(they break it down separating championship and exec).

Not current.

Opinions? On TOTV? Nah, never!

1: They all suck! The course managers should be fired! For what I pay (basically nothing) they should be pristine!

2: They're fine. We just went thru the busy season, wait till the growing season starts and, just like every year, they'll bounce back...

3: What's golf?

Glad to read your report on Havana. One of my favorite layouts, but was terrible when I played it the last couple of years.

Played Talley Ho this week. These were the best conditions I’ve seen in years. Fairways and tee boxes were like carpets. Fairways had lots of grass and the greens were impeccable. I was told that when it was closed, a new type of grass was used. I would like to see other courses do the same.

Glenview is always your best bet.

Play outside of tv. Cheaper and better conditions

I would stay away from Tierra del Sol for at least another week. Played there last Tuesday and the greens had been aerified, sanded and were nothing but bumps. Fairways also were threadbare.

Played Lopez and Tiera del Sol and they were both in great shape, especially the greens, however I do have an issue with the greenside sand traps on both of those courses and also on a few at Havana and Cane Garden. I know, you are supposed to AVOID the sand, but some people use balls that are “sand magnets”. Anyway, several of the traps had sand that was so thin, there was no getting under the balls without taking a “mud” divot.

Just played Havana, Kilaminjaro to Kenya. In decent shape. Kenya has recovered well. Our groups played different championship ship courses two times a week.
All of them have some distressed areas, typical of the dry season impact, but in decent shape. Will be playing Belle Glade tomorrow. Fairways there are usually the worst of the Villages until the rainy season, same for Bonifay. During the winter, we jokenly refer to the rough as the 'smooth". Tight lies are to be expected on just about every course.

Played Glenview a few weeks ago. Tally Ho and Fox Run greens were in great shape. Fairways nicely cut. Hell of a difference in the way the exec's are cared for.

Check aerification schedule, that is starting soon
