Then, a 3some pulled up to play, without stopping at the starter's shack. I politely told them the course was closed, but they ignored me, and went to the first hole and teed off.

What really annoyed me though were the people who drove on the fairway, after all the rain we just had. The old, Starter/Ranger in me wanted to drive up to them, and read them the riot act.

Should have called Community watch. Would love to seed these card pulled for no more golf

Honestly who cares? It’s not a big deal. It’s part of what they pay for in their amenities. I don’t agree with driving on the fairways when wet, but if people are on the cart path and playing and still have daylight I see no problem. The people out here that are over reacting to this are probably folks that still have masks on! Lighten up people!

Generally there is an orange cone on the path to the first tee with a "course closed" sign. Hard to imagine that anyone was "unaware"

Just so you are aware during summer hours you can play a reduced rate late and play. The starter shack is closed and the ambassador is gone. You can play as many holes as you can before dark. Driving on the fairway is not right if it is cart path only, unless the person has a handicap pass.

I agree but the op didn’t elude to a closed sign being located by the first tee.

First of all, it wasn't clear if this was an exec or champ course. If it was a champ course these people were TRESPASSING and I would call the community watch if after the clubhouse was closed.

Second, did these people pay a yearly trail fee or was it ala carte? If so, they were stealing from the CDD on an exec

Third, and MOST IMPORTANT, amenities are not solely a benefit paid for in the monthly fee, they come with RESPONSIBILITIES as well.
My amenity fee pays for flowers in the RB's and intersection. Does that mean since I paid I can trample all over them?
I pay to maintain the Rec centers, does that mean I can break in at 2 AM and play billiards? (And no one tell me that isn't the same---when you drive your cart past the "course closed" sign, you are essentially breaking in).
Those who suggest that this behavior is acceptable are just promoting anarchy. (which is what you get when there are no rules or the rules are being ignored.) Imagine what TV would be like if EVERYONE ignored the rules, not just some entitled, selfish few???? You wouldn't survive a RB. or a MMP. There would be dead cyclists and pedestrians strewn all about. The golf courses would look like a minefield. Properties would look like a slum.

If the sign says "course closed", IT IS CLOSED, and for a reason. It's not up to you to decide if it is a valid reason or if you agree with it, or if YOU don't think you are doing any damage. JUST FOLLOW THE RULES!!!!!

End of rant.

ALL par 3's in TV, are cart path only; execs and champ. No CAP, no on the fairways. In wet conditions, CART PATH ONLY! As far as playing after hours playing, the shacks are closed. If conditions allow, it is perfectly OK to play.

You are right, since I pay amenities, the executive courses ARE my business.
