No way the factor would be 2 or 3. Even new golfers don't veer offline by that much.
For example Bacall is 1892 from the back tees (even if you don't play the back tees you have to walk by them) + lets add another 1000 yards for various non straight walking and walk between holes for a total of 2892 yards in the 9 holes. That equals 8676 feet or 104,112 inches. The average stride for an adults is about 30 inches. That equates to 3470 steps.
18 holes on the average championship course is a LOT more! At least 4.5 miles total.
