Arch bridges are nicer to look at. Just saying.

I don't think you understand grass. It will not grow reliably under trees.

I played The Lakes last night and thought it was in really good shape. Nice cropped, full fairways, deep rough and the greens are in great shape. The cart paths really suck though.

I am just curious why “the cart paths suck?”

I played Lakes this morning and I have to agree with you, it is in good shape. My playing partner and I agreed that we would be back.
I'm thinking that maybe it was the Oaks course that gave me the willies. When teeing off on the first hole at Lakes today, the starter mentioned that the Oaks course was wide open and I was welcomed to play that in lieu of Lakes. This just confirms my suspicion that something's wrong with Oaks. Has anybody reading this played this course recently?
The Palms course, across the street, was not that bad the last time I played it, as I recall.

“Punish the locals?” This isnt kindergarten where the little girls snub each other because one has a prettier outfit than the other. Whoever related that rumor to you needs to find something of substance to occuppy their mind. I notice that there are many people who constantly complain about TV. Well……..get some boxes, hire a mover and take your life elsewhere if you can find someplace that could make you happy. Theres not a sealed bubble around TV. Youre allowed to move!

I played the Oaks late afternoon yesterday. Nobody on but me. Two reasons why it was wide open, more restrictions because of the rain and it's a tighter course, that makes it harder with those restrictions. It's in really great shape, the greens are awesome. And I might add the cart paths are in much better shape than my comment about Lakes

You must be like me, hitting the ball from the woods. Lol
