Hi Everyone,

Does the Villages provide any sort of card or checklist so you can mark off which courses you have played? If not, has anyone created their own list on a computer that they could send to me?

Any suggestions on any particular order I should do them in? Whether I should start with furthest north courses, furthest south?

Cheers,

Dylan

If you go to golfthevillages.com and look near the bottom of the right-hand column there is a link titled "Golf Course Addresses and Telephone Directory", which you can use as a checklist. Right below that is a link to a map that shows the location of every course. Happy golfing!

Get a scorecard for every course.
Staple them on your garage wall.
Mark your score on each as you play.


(don't laugh, i golfed with a guy five years ago that did this)
(he is actually tracking each time he gets a birdie on a hole)

You start by making a plan then executing that plan.
It doesn't matter what everyone else does it's your choice unless you are a follower.

For Championships, I get a ball with the course logo for each course and put it in the ball rack. Good thing I got the logo ball from Hacienda Hills before the pro shop was torn down. Don’t know yet if you can by a logo ball from Southern Oaks. For the Executives, I have a map of all courses and I circle each course that has been played. Good luck with your endeavor and golf on : )

Wife and I just started in the North of TV, and played our way south.
Worked for us.

Many experienced golfers say it is best to play them in alphabetical order. That is how they were designed.

The alphabet must begin with "S". Silver Lake was the first course in TV.

I would start with the number one rated courses to the 4 rated ones. But that's because I'm a beginner.

I started by highlighting the courses as I played them on the Golf Course Map. But I also wanted to know how many times I played each '9'. So I created a simple spreadsheet. One tab for all the Exec 9's and one for the CC 9's.
In my first 16 months here, I played over 180 9-hole rounds, and every course except Sandhill & Sweetgum (they closed for maintenance when I got around to them).
Now I can check my spreadsheet and find the courses I've only played several times and go play them again.

Sign onto the villages t time system, press 4th selection from bottom “review play history” and it will show every round, executive and Championship courses.

Certainly there are courses that you have already played. Check those off and then I would play the courses you can actually get a tee time on.( A tee time that is convenient for you). It’s not the time of year to do it but I have scheduled two executive courses that are close together back to back. As long as the tee times are longer than two hours apart the system will allow it

I have played all 41 courses, in no particular order, and many during the summer "heat" season when you can just walk on. Looking back, I should have made some notes about each of the courses for future replay. Chula Vista is like playing in a park. Across the street, Mira Mesa has old oaks hanging over the fairways (really beautiful on sunny days) and multi-modal paths connecting tees to greens. Valusia's 2nd and 3rd holes are up on a hill side and the panorama view is great! Pelican is a "ball eater" - lost 7 the first time I played it but got it down to 4 the next time. With the Water Lilly bridge opening a year ago, it is possible to drive your golf cart to every course. The drive from McClure to Hill Top is 1.25 hrs each way - but I'm retired and the drive is beautiful!!
