I believe all of the championship courses have putting greens - there may be some that allow chipping (with restrictions - not full swings). There are also lots of people with physical restrictions who still play. Pick and easy (1) level executive course, inquire ahead of time about how to get a handicap ribbon for your cart (allows driving close to ball on par 3s and closer to green). Check out golfthevillages.net and call to double check.
You probably will find more beginner golfers on the easiest executive courses. And if you feel he is slowing down play, just skip holes when needed.
Most of us move to a retirement community so we can continue to be active as long as possible, so I would hope we can have some compassion, and believe that most of us would be very accommodating.
