I still contend that the retention ponds are not deep enough. And by the way, I've been saying this since I first saw some of them go completely dry in the winter after having to be pumped out in the summer five years ago. This is not about not being able to play golf. That really doesn't bother me all that much. IMHO, these retention ponds and golf courses are not well designed. I can't really speak about the ponds other than to say that they don't seem to be working properly, but I've never seen bunkers on golf courses that don't drain like these. Yes, casual water in bunkers is not unusual. What is unusual is that on well-constructed golf courses bunkers are still full of water or muddy on the bottom weeks after rainfall. I love it here in The Villages. There is no place that I'd rather live. But that doesn't mean that it's perfect and not subject to improvement. Coming from a golf background, one of the things that bothers me is that The Villages seems to do so many things so well. The landscaping in the common area is so well maintained. The pools and rec centers are beautiful. The lighting and signage are wonderful and the homes are well built and attractive. Even the roads and cart paths are resurfaced on a regular basis. Everything is done and maintained in a first-class manner. That is except for the golf courses which are poorly designed and poorly maintained. It seems that the priorities, when it comes to many of these courses are misplaced. Sorry if this offends anyone, it is just my opinion.

I'm in total agreement with Davefin, unless you wanted to be near a coast, there can be no better place to retire to in Florida than TV. TV didn't get to be this big because of poor management, enjoy what you have! PERIOD.

You have got to be kidding me. Be thankful you don't have to complain about being without power, having holes in your roof or any of the other "important" issues many are still dealing with as a result of the hurricane. There are a multitude of other things to do in The Villages that should keep you occupied until the golf courses are open and playable.

People across Florida and Texas lost their homes. Many still do not have power. In 2012 Our home up north was pretty much destroyed by Sandy. You must have a great life pal, if opening the golf courses is your major worry and concern Jeeeezzz
