The executive courses need an handicap system designed for all the executive players also.

That would be nice, but I don't think that there's enough room for that. It's a dangerously crowded course as it is. I'm actually thinking the opposite. Just nine good par threes of various lengths with some interesting features. The second hole is an example of what happens when you try to make a hole where there is not enough room.
I would love to see more par fours and the occasional par five on the executive courses, but I just don't see them being able to fit into that property. Are area around the second green and third tee is only about forty yard wide and it's right in the middle of the property. It really limits what can be done with the property.
But again, I'm not a golf course architect. What I would do is give a good golf course architect a blank canvas and let him go at it.
