TV is full of executive courses (I think 28 or 29 currently) and they are free to play, if you walk, for residents. The executive courses are relatively short and pretty open, so they are pretty easy to play and designed for speed, as they move a lot of players through each day. They are great for newer players as they are mostly not a difficult test. If you are new to the game they will be a great way to get familiar with golf, but keep moving or you will likely be reprimanded. Don't hunt for lost balls long, don't take 6 practice swings before hitting, don't study putts for 5 minutes, and pick up when you are double par - these things will keep you moving, make your experience pleasurable, and keep your partners and those behind you, happy. Have fun, don't take it too seriously, and enjoy the beauty of the courses.
