I’m 79, not in the best of health, but walk the execs in the Fall, Winter & Spring, even though I pay my trail fees. I haven’t seen anyone walk the championship courses, but many are laid out through neighborhoods to have as many “golf view” expensive lots available and sometimes there’s a very long walk from green to the next tee. Good planning by the developer.
