If you walk the cart path only all the way around, an executive is 2.0 to 2.5 and a championship about 5 or 6 depending on the course. Some are longer because of distance between green and next tee. I have walked and tracked several courses using Map my walk, a pedometer, and if I ride, the golf cart speedometer. Walking most executive courses is about 3.0 to 4.0 miles and most championship is between 7.5 and 8.5.

Remember when walking you cover the entire distance using the black tee's even if your playing the white, never a straight line (at least mine are never straight), and lots of walking around other areas. Tee box, green, rest rooms, going to help someone look for a ball, and many other things. And there are huge variations. Think about the difference on Palmer between Riley Grove and Cherry Hill. It's slightly over a mile longer for Cherry Hill 9 because of all the distance between holes.
