There are two types of courses, the nine hold executive courses have many walkers. Some using a day bag or a push cart, probably 20% of the golfers. The Championship courses are really not designed for walkers, there are some locations where the distance from the green to the next tee can be 300 yards or more. In six years of playing regular here and I only play championship courses, I've never seen a walker.
You could probably handle it if you're in good shape and use to walking. Arnold Palmer wouldn't be good with the hills and some of the distances between green and tees. A newer course like Belle Glade has two fairly flat nines and one that is a little hilly. Evans Prairie is also fairly flat. I would play a few rounds with a cart and check it out, you can rent a cart at the course, I believe it just went up to $15.
