Played Escambia today and was surprised to learn there were only the green tees available to play due to overseeding the other tee boxes. Really?? The course was closed due to sink hole repairs that they knew would take forever. Why not do all the tee boxes at the same time while the course was closed?? Talk about poor planning, or is it proof that they really don't care about the residents?? Too me this is not acceptable!!

Most likely they keep to a schedule based on weather and time of year. Why complain and state it is unacceptable. You got to play so what is the problem. Would you rather they close the course when you arrive. People need to relax and enjoy The Villages and stop bitching about the little stuff.

I played the course also but the good news is I was +1 from the blacks!

Good practice!

There will always be people who let their feelings overshadow the obvious. You overseed based on time of year and to improve the growth of the new seed. Doing it during hot weather would have been useless.

Some people are born stupid....others choose to be ignorant...then there are those of us who just lose the ability to assess a situation correctly due to age...and I like to believe that is why most people can't figure out the obvious and it's frustrating.

Sadly to me, it seems there are people that need to find something to complain about. It doesn't matter if they have any idea what they are talking about. Who was it who said it is better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you a fool then to open it and remove all doubt? Twain?

That was actually Abe Lincoln. Got the tee shirt. I wonder how much extra the original poster had to pay to play Escambia green tees?

How dare they over-seed tee boxes during the right time of the year!

We played twice this past week on Escambia. It made us concentrate on our short game. It was a lot of fun. Nothing like using your pitching wedge for every drive… Make lemonade out of lemons.

I get it, they could have overseeded when the course was closed for 2 months but really, it’s not the end of the world

OMG...the humanity! No doubt it was a beautiful day, you're on a golf course breathing clean air, and the first thought that comes to mind is: I've got to log in and gripe about the tee box I'm playing from! Getting all worked up over something as mundane as this will do nothing good for your blood pressure. Take a breath...enjoy the day...and realize there are 41 other Executive courses you can play. Where else on the planet can you do that?

Someone has to always complain. If they didn’t oversees & their weee bare spots on any Executive course somebody would of complained. If the don’t like playing the green tees don’t play the course, after all there’s what 45 other Executive courses to pick from. There’s always someone crying about something that TV are doing. They could go outside the bubble & play , I’ve seen courses outside TV that you wonder how they could charge you.

Yet another Villages first world problem.
