Havana greens B.A.D.
Although winter conditions prevail and are to be expected, the greens on Kilimanjaro and Kena have an abundance of weed grass that inhibits staying on the line of putting. Even a short 18" straight putt to the cup goes off course when it hits a clump of weed grass on the green. 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.

Nothing new. It's the worst conditioned course in the villages. No accountability. no pride in their work. Everything done on the cheap. We don't include it in our rotation until it improves.

My Monday group had us play there last month. Terrible then. I told them not to play there anymore this year. Almost went inside and asked for my money back.

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

No excuses for the conditions here - there are 18 absolutely PERFECT greens over at Silver Springs Shores that you can play for half the price of a Villages Championship course. |

It seems that a good majority of both championship and executive villages courses have greens that are in sad shape.

Admittedly, it's hard to get rid of, but I suspect poor cultivation practices all year long in TV, make it much easier for the Poa to take over this time of the year. |

You’re blaming winter conditions!? I disagree. Visit some neighboring courses outside The Villages. Fantastic conditions are achievable. Blame the greenskeepers and those establishing the maintenance budgets.

Golf outside The Villages and see what you get. We in The Villages are better off than those who live in surrounding communities!

Played Glenview yesterday and whole course conditions, including greens, were great. We will not play Havana nor Evans Prairie as conditions were, and continue to be, atrocious .
