It will be interesting to see if the same people who were going crazy and complaining, will be the same people complaining that courses are now closed!! Having said all of that, the timing of events is pretty ironic for the director of executive golf to be leaving. I just don’t think they have enough executive courses for the amount of people in The Villages. Would others agree with this statement?
I believe there are many, many more villagers that either started playing golf when they moved here, or always did than the developer anticipated for future buildouts. Just throwing it out there.

Most? This cracks me up also. That again is pulling at straws.

How about every one we played during the past 2 months?

The 4 courses in the "Fenney" area are in good shape. I played Walnut Grove a few weeks ago and it was in good shape. There are a number of courses with damaged greens. They will improve with the warmer temperatures and reduced play.

When the reference is made to high season or reduced play when "they" leave, keep in mind that the slow season population of today is twice the population of the high season 10 years ago!!

There are only so many rounds of golf that can be scheduled per day per course regardless how many folks live here.

The Volusia/Escambia etc courses are in nice shape and many of the courses north of 466 are in nice shape. In the past few weeks, I have played Oakleigh, walnut Grove, Chula Vista, DelaVista..all with very nice greens. So, you can’t really blame the weather or amount of play. The only other variable is who is doing
the care and maintenance.

If the nature trail walking areas were filled with mud....if the pools were turning green and if all classes at the rec centers were filled, you too would be calling those issues "serious concerns" So whats your beef with those that have a issue with poor golf courses?

I doubt the developer was caught off guard. The reason I began to explore The Villages in 2009 was seeing their commercials on golf tournaments that emphasized "Free golf for life". if that is the thrust of your marketing efforts you could expect a lot of interest from golfers.

You know as well as I, there are a lot of open tee times on the Champs everyday.

I know you meant opinion, which is of course what it is.

Well many of the greens are in relatively poor shape but I started playing on sand greens. Inverleigh Golf Club Sandgreen Tips - YouTube
