Nothing wrong with bogey and a half as most golfers cannot truly break 100 and most golfers are playing the wrong set of tees as is evident here in The Villages.
Jack Nicklaus wrote a paper stating that you should take your average driver and multiply it by 28 to determine the yardage length you should play. Example, if you think that your average(not best, not worst) drive is 200 yards your course length should be 5600 yards.
I play in a golf group where we play different sets of tees depending on the yardage. We use the following:
Par 3's no more than 150
Par 4's no more than 350
Par 5's no more than 450
