Lightbulb “Walkability” of the Executive Courses

There are a few reasons that I choose to walk when I play golf. Golf is a mental game; walking to my next shot gives me the time to clear my mind from the previous bad shot. Walking is also good exercise. (I use a push cart; I’m not so much of a purist that I want to carry the bag.)
I discovered that on a few courses, a player must cover a bit of distance from one green to the next tee box. (The walk from the #6 green to the #7 tee at Loblolly comes immediately to mind.)
Has anyone created a “walkability” rating for the Executive courses that might be similar to the playability ratings?
The length of the continuous cart path vs. maximum yardage would be a factor. Total elevation change over the path might be another.
