Often I won't tee the ball up, just play it off the turf as if it was a fairway shot on a regular course. On some courses the tees are all about the same yardage if you stay with one set of tees, so I'll change tees to get different yardages and not hitting the same club on many holes...
Pretty much sums up my approach. (I'm currently an 8 handicap, although I'm struggling to play to it lately! ) Good practice and lots of fun. I also often play without teeing the ball up, varying tees to vary distance, etc. Plus, I almost always walk the execs. Not so feasible on the champs. In the summer, I often start an exec course after 7:00pm and have no problem getting in nine. And of course the price is right! Can't beat it.
