Default Harbor Hills

Played 9 holes at Harbor Hills last night and was extremely disappointed. The fairways are spotty, the greens are horrible,the whole place looks like it should be shut down. I hadn't played this track for a couple years but I remember it as being in great shape . Wonder what the problem is. Such a shame for a beautifully laid out course!!!

Heard same story from two friends who played there yesterday.

Too bad!!!

Seems as if a lot of courses are in sad shape this year. Not sure of the reason.

Played there about 6 weeks ago; I agree, it was awful. We had heard how great it was - a "must play" course; don't think we'll be playing off campus back there for a while.

We play off site each week and unfortunately this has been common place at many courses, not just Harbor Hills. Hopefully the summer grasses will start growing.

HMMM it is usually just the Villages courses people complain about. I guess they all are having issues. Glad to see we are spreading the love around!

Add SummerGlen, Eagle Ridge at Spruce Creek and our own Palmer Legends to the courses that are in horrible shape.
