You’re crazy. Which course do you think has greens that meet your standards?

Pelican’s greens on the links are still firm as hell and very quick. But they roll true.. Also, stay in the fairway b/c the rough has been thiiiicccc .

Yea Pelican’s rough has been so thick lately that I’ve lost multiple balls due to them sinking down into the thick grass and not seeing them. Worked out though because I ended up finding seven balls that other people lost in the rough too . Most of them were more expensive than my balls too. Going again Friday to be hurt once more!

There are plenty. Islands usually pretty great after they have tournaments for their members

Maybe I misunderstood. I thought you were saying the islands green weren’t good.

Yeah it's been a pain in the arse the last couple weeks.. Pretty sure I lost a couple sleeves due to just not finding it.. Nothing more aggravating than watching you ball land and not finding it...

If you found any ProV's with a Disney Golf logo on the side I'd like it back..

Coppermill in the most coppermill fashion has crabgrass getting un their green they need to address quickly and completely stopped watering the fairways.

All after raising their rates after seeing increased play. Incredible

The bluffs woukd be killing it right now. Stupid

Played this weekend and couldn’t agree more. The greens are playable, but they need to get rid of the weeds. The fairways are rock hard and the rough is nasty.

Its really frustrating because they had just started turning the corner back to old days.

Now the new traps have weeds and the new greens need addressed soon before they get destroyed.

Also enjoyed getting the greenside sprinklers turned on while im putting the last 2 rounds.

Carter Plantation (excellent condition, 1/19/2026)


Greens were grown out and very bumpy from punching about a week or two ago. Wouldn't play again in that condition but fortunately it looked like it would be temporary. The rest of the course was very good though.

However, it looked like they have some crab grass on their tee boxes that they should address and very tall weeds in the marsh on 12 that is now a tree which should be cut.
