I don't play executive courses, but I'm guessing that the allure of free play today is what is bringing out those that normally play the executives and would otherwise be intimidated of the championship courses...and don't want to spend the money?

If it is that, then the executives must be taking a pretty good beating from these same clueless (or just plain lazy/jerk) golfers.
All true, but there is a much better chance that a golfer with a half reasonable handicap knows etiquette than those that have never been on a real course before. I don't play exec courses either, but I can only imagine they resemble the lunar landscape.
