Championship courses that are shut down include: Orange Blossom Hills (through Wednesday, May 30), Hacienda Hills (through Thursday, May 31), Glenview Champions (through the morning of Saturday, May 25) and Lopez Legacy (through Saturday, May 25).

Executive courses that are closed through Wednesday, May 30, include: Silver Lake, Hill Top, Chula Vista, Mira Mesa and El Santiago.

Villages golf officials are warning that more rainfall could force even more closures in the coming days. They also said that these dates could change with water basin levels lowering. And golfers should expect some cart restrictions on various courses.
