Pelican Executive course in the Villages----not so much. But I suppose one could build and executive course with nothing but replicas of the 9 hardest par 3's over 250 yds. from all around the country and it would be quite hard.
The conversation was about Executive Courses in the Villages. My point is, if you are a ‘better/more experienced golfer” and want to play an executive FOR FUN, Pelican is a nice choice.
I played Pelican in March with a guy from Ohio, with an single digit index. I also played another time with a golf pro from Canada (he plays executives every morning with his wife). Both times, we had a great time.

Feel free to start a thread about the top 5 toughest/nicest courses in the country.
