- - Playing Executive Courses After the Starter Shack Closes (https://www.talkofthevillages.com/forums/villages-florida-general-discussion-73/playing-executive-courses-after-starter-shack-closes-331227/)

We usually choose the last Tee time of the day - executive courses, and almost no fail, when we hit the second, third, fourth T, inevitably we will see one or more of the previous Tees with golfers coming on...like ants. Entitled!

We have had different experiences with the people in the starter shack. Once we went to Volusia and asked if we could play after the last scheduled group tees off. The starter said No, so we went over to Roosevelt and the starter said we could play.

Once we went to Marshview and the only group on the entire course was a guy on #10 giving a lesson to a group. The starter said we could follow that group. We asked if we could start on #1 because the group would probably be slow. She said No, so we played #10 and then skipped over to #2. She walked out to us and told us to follow behind the guy giving the lesson, who was now approaching #12.

So we walked over to #12 and the guy giving the lesson, who seemed to be a more experienced employee, was surprised the starter was being so fussy. Anyway, we skipped #12 and went to #13 and had a good round.

The moral is that each starter is different and we do what they say. If they do not say anything or if they are not there, we do what seems reasonable.

Marsh View isn't an executive course. It's a Pitch -n- Putt.

The OP is asking about executive courses.

Yep, reference adidas thread. Much blowing of opinions,,,,,,,,repeated.

Beware of suddenly getting a shower with stinky water.

Why does anyone care how many posts are in a thead? If it draws interest, people reply. Those that don't care for the thread don't have to open it.
It seems as if there are posters here who either have way too much time on their hands or they are just jealous that their own posts don't get as many looks or replies.

The answer is yes, you can play after the shack closes, but only the Executive courses.

It’s listed with the Executive courses and you book a tee time for it under executive courses although technically it is not. It is an 18 hole very short course with astroturf tees and decent size greens with a couple of bunkers. Walking only and there is a 19th hole that is a very long putting green

Are you sure about this? I thought it was the military novelist WEB Griffin who said it.
