Sometimes the tee time request is rejected with nonpriority members in the request.

The executive courses are great practice in the summer. During the winter the pace of play is so painfully slow we do not find them enjoyable. Most of the better golfers I know rarely play the executive courses.

We've found the same thing as well regarding the Execs. I do play occasionally in the winter with a group of friends, its great practice, but the pace will drive you nuts.

A nice thing about being a member at all the courses, is that it gives you options. Right now, only about half the championship courses are in good shape, so we put our requests in for the ones with good conditions, rather than the other ones. During overseeding, you can pick the courses that are not being overseeded, etc.
