The Villages championship courses are more wide open, shorter tee for tee, and easier to play then the courses I play in VA. And yet the slope is not that much lower. As an example the course I belong to in VA, the Black tees are 7200 yds, the blue 6800, the white 6400 and the red 5800 yds. In the Villages most blue run around 6100 and most white about 5700. So shorter to accommodate our slower swing speeds. I drop about 6 strokes a round playing the blue here.
The executive courses can be really easy or a few of them are a challenge. Go play Pelican from the back tees to be humbled by an executive course.
