Question Walking the Executives

What is your favorite executive course to walk, and why?

Chula Vista. Every hole seems to have it's own unique personality and challenges. Not a difficult course but always fun--and scenic.

Sandhill not too bad. All these have long walks from green to tee: Red Fox, Gray Fox (real bad), Longleaf, Loblolly (real bad), Lowlands (real bad), Escambia, Okeechobee, Turtle Mound...it's not that they are hilly, just the long walks to the next tee on several holes slows down play. MickyLee and Marsh View are good for pitch-n-putts.

We used to enjoy Briarwood, and Walnut Grove. Comfortable walks.
Some courses have a bit of a gallop between holes, but not a problem if reasonably fit.

May I assume you mean playing golf and walking as opposed to those who trespass on the courses to walk/walk their dog/ride their bikes, etc?

having played golf overseas for 20 years, I am astounded by the number of villages golfers who will not or cannot walk executive golf courses. Is it any wonder 70% of Floridians are overweight

If you want a workout Hilltop in Orange Blossom made me feel very worthy of a beer afterwards!

And I asked for clarification----walking while playing a round of golf or trespassing to walk, walk a dog, ride a bike, etc. So, yes, that was the question.

The more players that walk the slower the pace will get. Most Villagers are very active.

Default Luv to Walk Hawkes Bay

Hawkes Bay has beautiful views, holes containing a variety of yardages and it is very well laid out for those who walk the course since the greens and next tees are never too far apart.

Wife and I always walked, and more than kept up with play, including I may add, during our Championship Course playing days as well.
What held us up on Execs. was many ladies sitting in cart waiting to be driven to green tee from black, after her macho husband played his shot, which in 90% of cases never reached the green anyway!
