Default After Hours Exec Golf

Currently executive starters are in the shacks until 7:00 PM and ambassadors are out until 7:30 to 7:45. Ambassadors working late have to cover more than one course so you might not see them if you play after 7:00. If you play after the shack closes and see an ambassador they might ask for your Village ID and ask if your trail fees are paid. If you do not see them, you are free to play until just before dark. Even though you are on the honor system, please repair ball marks, repair divots and rake the sand traps as needed. If there is a Course Closed sign posted at the first hole, please do not go on that course as it was closed for a maintenance related issue. A total different set of rules are in place at country club courses.

I got question for seasoned golfers around the villiages. How many and are there practice greens where you can pitch onto the greens. Most practice green won't allow pitching onto the greens. This for me is the hardest to get close to the pin using different wedges (especially the 56 degree wedges were you need to stop the ball) after long lay off .

My instructor at the golf school there told me the bunker was available for anyone's use.

Bonifay has a nice practice area where you can pitch the ball, as does Evans Prairie. Palmer has an area as well alongside the driving range, but the "green" is not cut short.

You've got to be kidding, right!?! Nobody twisted the arms of those living on a golf course.

Golf is made to be played during all daylight hours. Those just before sunset are some of the best. Don't like it? Don't buy on a golf course.

Starters leave at 7PM. Ambassador 7:30. If you are a resident and have a paid Trail Fee you are free to golf after 7. The Ambassador, if still on course, will check your ID and record # to ensure trail fee is paid. If not, you will be asked to come to the golf shop to pay the daily trail fee.

We back on a golf course, well away from the golf cart path.
We don't mind a few stragglers playing until dark, they aren't disruptive at all.
Perhaps your house is directly on the golf cart path?

Executive courses only, right?

I have been going out after dinner for five years now. Once the starters count out their cash drawers, u can go on the courses for nothing and play till dark. If u go up to the starter shack, they will tell u when to T off without cost. Sometimes they even let u go out early. 6PM is a gud time to go to the shack. U won't have to wait very long.

According to you, the original question was correctly answered on May 25.
Is your post today a hint that you want us to stop gabbing about side issues?
Going off topic is half the fun!

Sandra Chester... great teacher for anyone wanting to learn the game of golf.
We live on a golf course and I could care less how late people play. My joy is watching those of us who are healthy enough to get out and exercise.

A lot of people do this. I see some take their grand kids out there. I did it occasionally when I first started. It was always usually at the courses where I knew the ambassadors and starters. Great for just shooting 2 or three holes. Quiet time. I never play in the dark though.

Can you also play the championship courses after they close?
