I don’t understand living in the largest golf course community in the world, and bragging about NOT playing golf there.
Sure, sometimes the conditions here aren’t great, but none of us are playing on the PGA tour this weekend.

I am. And the weather in LA is a lot warmer than yesterday.

It's not bragging about playing outside the Villages. Just comparing conditions between what you pay for outside the Villages and what you pay for inside the Villages. In the Villages it's a lot more money for the convenience of using your own cart and the conditions are not as good, with the exception of Glenview.

The Villages loves when you drive your own cart to play their overpriced courses. Profit drops to the bottom line. No need to maintain a cart fleet and give you one for your round like most other courses do.

It appears there is no effort to contain the weed grass as it's vibrant and abundant on every one of the 18 greens we played on Feb 10. Our group saw no brown weed grass indicating zero application of killer product to keep it under control. Otherwise the course was as to be expected this time of year.

Conditions at most Villages courses are disgusting. All about money.

The only decent Greens I've found on campus in the last 3 weeks, is Tierra del Sol.

Agree on Tierra, but fairways are mostly hard pan. Have been here for 3 winters. This has been the worst ever. Lived in Fl. for 60 years and TV is only place that I have seen maintenance performed in the winter(high $ time) Nothing is going to be done. Owners know they have a captive audience.
