My neighbor played Harbor Hills last week, he found a special for $33 includes cart and lunch. He asked if I wanted to go, but I had an appointment. He's a very good golfer, a 4 handicap. The next day I asked him how it was, he said he played awful and the place was awful. He said he couldn't tell what was damaged and what was like it was before, a lot of sand in places where the grass was under repair. Trees messed up, a course that shouldn't be open. He's a fellow that has to play or hit golf balls everyday or he's not happy.
The week before he went to Brooksville, World of Woods. It's a 36 hole layout and I've played there 3 times with him. I didn't go because I don't like the course, it's very hard and takes the fun out. Another special, only $30 and normally it's $60. He said there was trees laying over all over the place. We figured that's why it was so cheap, so people wouldn't complain so much. |

All because of a couple of weeks of inconvenience...due to a very rare occurrence? You're correct...it IS simply amazing. |

Think of it this way, if you didn't golf...what is your amenity fee per month? Now, how much extra are you paying...if you play an executive course and walk? If you're paying anything extra...you should report the starter. |

I don't play golf. I enjoy looking at the beauty of the golf courses. This place was designed so the courses and ponds took the water in these rare storms. When the Bride and I were looking for a place to retire this place won out. Why you ask everything we wanted was here. Coming from Long Island we wouldn't be living like we do now. Affordable food, beverages, taxes, anything we want is and was cheaper. Yea we took some rain, yea I lost a few shingles. I'm alive, live in a beautiful community with everything I could ask for. I can't believe the BS the debris aren't picked up yet, I can't play golf, are they going to credit me for the amenities I can't use, why can't the normal yard waste collection be picking up the stuff. You've been living in a great place and now you inconvenienced a little. Get over it. What would it be like where you came from or did you forget life before TV we sure as hell Didn't. On a bad day this place beats where we lived before.

Just help someone out, no need to make the person feel badly for not knowing.

The golf courses in The Villages were designed to flood to save the houses. That's why the golf courses are built first. During Irma, they did exactly what they were designed to do. And just because they look ok doesn't mean that they aren't extremely soggy.

I understand your frustration, but the design was for the courses to act as flood plains. They did their job. TV might not do everything right, but I have found their intention to do the right thing pretty consistent. Thanks the TV for all their efforts.

What I find absurd is that you are complaining about it. Some of us have real problems to deal with following Irma.

"While we are able to open these courses Wednesday, many areas of the community still have very high water levels and the courses will be needed to continue to lower the basin levels."
Can you tell me which areas still have high water levels? Or which ones got it the worst? Thanks |

Don't know. I played Spruce Creek yesterday and it was in terrible shape. I know The Villages look ready but I would rather wait until they are optimal than cause more damage.

Boy, there are some really bitter people here in TV responding to this thread. Get with it people. The retention ponds DID what they were designed to do. We had lots, and lots, and lots of rain in a short period of time. Wanting refunds of fees.......absurd! Wanting reimbursement of golf fees paid outside TV......absurd! Complaining about the "slow" cleanup.....absurd! Wake up complainers, we will all be golfing soon, on courses that are better maintained than many outside the bubble. Lets just enjoy living here..PERIOD.
