On a championship course I have heard it is about a five mile walk or 9,200 paces. Add 10 % for all the trips to the bathroom and 3 putts......
That sounds about right to me for total distance. I was being overly generous with the non-straight line walk. Some of the execs here at TV can be a decent walk since they average around 1900 yards + distance between holes. And I'll bet your stride is more than the average TV resident.
