But if some players want a longer course they can play the blue tees and adjust their strokes or points using the slope rating for the course/tees. (HC Index times slope divided by 113 = handicap)

I found it interesting the way Stonecrest sets up their tees. They have green tees that are a mix of the blue and white tees. Works out well.

We palyed Ocala National yesterday and mixed in some whites with golds to get around 6,000 yards and that made it enjoyable for everyone.

BTW Ocala National is a great Rees Jones layout with beautiful oak lined fairways, elevations changes, and with no homes close to the course. Just the right amount of large trees were left to keep you honest and not try to cut the doglegs. Next time around I'll have a better idea on playing some holes.
Only faults were that some bunker sides were washed out due to the heavy downpours the night before. They were fixing them that same day. The greens were a little bumpy from the aeration that was probably done a week or two ago. Give it two weeks and it should be in perfect condition.
It was nice to hit off of lush fairways, and hit into soft greens. They even had rough that was an inch or two high. What a novel idea. $30 w/lunch.
