About the longest distance you'll find between holes is between 6 & 7 at Mangrove...perhaps 5min. at longest.

You can also walk the championship courses, but you have to keep pace and some of those distances between green and tees can be about 1/4 mile or so.
I just walked Mangrove. One of the other players also walked and he carried a gizmo that measured how far we walked. It was just under 4 miles. If you calculate the distance only using the yardage from the black tees it will be around 2 miles but you can almost double it, on that course anyway. I'm no more tired walking that course then any other and I walked Palmetto this morning. I was surprised it was 4 miles.
