We golfed today at Southern Oaks. On the back 9 today. The Misquitoes were HORRENDOUS!!!
If it was up to me I was ready to quit on hole #12 and go back to the Starter for a credit. But the other guys wanted to stick it out. It just got worse. Especially close to the water…. We passed by a white service truck off the cart path and the side was covered with hundreds of them. It truly ruined the round as we simply had to rush shots. Not fun…

We decided to drown our sorrows with a beer at the center Bar at Sawgrass. The guy buying brought 4 plastic glasses of beer and said “guess how much”. We all guessed $4 a glass. He said they don’t serve in pitchers as we typically get after rounds at other places. And they charged $7.00 per glass!!! Was like almost $30! A pitcher at other TV restaurants is about $13. What a ripoff.

So, we won’t golf at Southern Oaks until fall, and no more Sawgrass. Yikes.

Prices have been posted on here B4 Sorry you guys got taken. $7.00 for Domestic Draft is a crime. Yes I’m cheap my friends and I have already said NO!

Hell, a 6 pack costs about 7 or 8 bucks. Why not just keep some cold ones on ice in your golf cart cooler to have outside with your golf buddies after the round?

Can't say for sure what you saw, but be aware there are tons of "blind mosquitos" in that area of TV. They are midges that don't bite. They look just like the biters.

Absolutely correct. They did not bite, thank goodness. Honestly it was horrible. Swarms. Worse than lovebugs at their worst. When I came home, she looked at my back and I had at least 15 smashed bugs on my back. No doubt were on my shirt and I sat down in the cart.

Don’t they spray for mosquitoes down there as they do north of 44? If they are there, and known, why??? I feel sorry for the homeowners down there. As well as the Turnpike noise, but that’s another thing. Plus the $7.00 beers…. grrrrr.

And just to rub salt in the fresh wound, for that you got to pay green fees that are higher than any other course in the Villages. Ouch!!!!!

Mosquitos last week at golf up north were bad too. I just saw a hamburger for $14 with no sides today at Sawgrass. I don't know why they bought tiny butt sized metal seats for sawgrass for all the big sized crowds

what time of day

The Misquitoes were HORRENDOUS!!!

[Marykess1802]

…and it was cart path only today! Takes about 55 minutes to get there in golf cart from 466/Morse.

Why not play golf and go home, why the beer? Would save a lot of money.

And the mosquitos, that’s included in the $3 to play Southern Oaks plus the free turnpike noise and views.

Is there no golf courses outside TV south of 44? Send TV a message and patronize outside the bubble courses which are dirt cheap w a cart in August/September.

I live in Hawkins and have never once seen any swarms of blind mosquitoes nor do I hear traffic noise. Also, tell the guy to ask the price before ordering if price is a concern. they have the menus sitting ALL OVER THE BAR with the prices listed. I have to laugh at all you folks who post a thread about prices you paid as if they hid the price from you. As another person said, get yourself a six-pack and load up that cooler.
