From what I gather from the "Friendly Golf Recommendations", the Executive courses are designed for "friendly something", but i'm not sure I would call it "golf" as it's generally known. I don't think you can expect people playing Executive courses, to behave like they're on the PGA Tour ... more like a minor step up, from a group playing mini-golf at a beach resort.

I agree. I've played over 1,000 rounds, maybe even 2,000 rounds on the championship courses here. When my friend's son, a PGA pro comes to visit he drags me back to the black tees, but aside from that, I've only joined one threesome years ago that was playing the black. To call the tees on exec courses that add 15 yards to a 95 yard hole "black" is almost an oxymoron---well moronic at best. On the rare occasion I've played an exec, I'm amused at those that marvel at others who play the "black" tees----geez, it's not like teeing it up at 7600 yards at Torrey pines.
Along those lines, 2 years ago when my 11 year old granddaughter came to visit we played Palmetto. The starter, and I quote stated "This a difficult course, the girl might not be able to handle it from the front tees" My response---"She'll be playing the black tees with the rest of us". She shot 35 on par 29, only because she took a triple on one hole.
