On average, May is one of the driest months and June is the wettest. The rainy season is June, July, August, and September - much wetter, on average, than the other 8 months.

I for one would not call and report a neighbor if their lawn looked like that. I just worry about what my lawn looks like. If it is bad enough the clipboard ladies will turn it in.

Executive golf course is not the Developer. It is your CDD.

Good point. I really don't need my CCD money spent to make that area of grass look like my lawn.

It's a Country Club not an Executive Course.

There is nothing but mud in the second picture. No grass to water. And I do spray the weeds. Unfortunately there is absolutely no vegetation in the largest area.

Indeed. I should have read your post more carefully.

We’re you promised green grass when you bought your golf course lot?

Hmmm, an area with some dried out and dead grass at a country club in an area where golf isn’t played. Waaaaa! That’s absolutely nothing compared to what took place at the Hacienda Hills Country Club. I’m sure the residents living adjacent to HH would much rather have that problem than having the Clubhouse, Restaurant, pool, restrooms, and tennis courts torn down. It’s all relative and the comparison certainly puts things into perspective.

We were promised that our neighbors would be required to maintain their grass in good condition as would I. Should there be different standards for us homeowners vs the Morse's?

Let’s merge this with the threads about how high the greens fees are?
Spend more water on grass = higher costs = higher greens fees
