Big Cedar Lodge...................the views are great.

Walk exec
 
Slightly different question - good executive course to walk that is not too hilly (protecting my sore knee) and not far from green to next tee

Turtle Mound is very easy.

& not an unreasonable request for clarification as the initial question was not clear & responding would be operating under assumptions.

I love walking grey fox, it gives me time to take in all the nature scenes.

OP here, I meant walking while playing, I wouldn’t even think about walking on a golf course.
I was pretty much looking for efficiency, believe me my game is slow enough with all the strokes I take.

Thanks for clarifying. I was also unsure if you meant walking while playing or walking without playing.

Based on my experience, more than 95% of players use carts. Very few walk!

Well you won't be walking the course if you're riding your bike. So you can rule that out.

As for the rest, what does it have anything to do with the question? Is the process of walking different, when you're walking your dog, compared to walking without one? If you're walking while playing, then sure you have to stop every so often to hit the ball but the walking part of it doesn't change. You're still walking.

The OP wants to know which course is your favorite to walk. If the only time you ever walk it is to play golf, then - which is your favorite to walk? If you walk it to walk your dog, then which is your favorite to walk? If it's to take a stroll in the evening after the course ceases to issue tee times, which is your favorite to walk? If you walk it to stare at people getting dressed through their bedroom windows, which is your favorite to walk?

The difference is that when you walk your dog or go for a stroll and not play golf, YOU ARE TRESPASSING Even the OP stated he wouldn't even think of walking on a course unless he was playing.

I second the vote for Mira Mesa as the most enjoyable walking course. Stately oaks line most of the fairways, offering shaded comfort. The course winds around the beautiful Village of La Reynalda and is a relatively easy walking course-no real hills, and good adjacency from greens to next tee.

Heron, Pelican, Amberwood (all with incredible views of wildlife areas) and lastly Churchill Greens for that long walk between holes 5 and 6 with the pond on the left and the horses and cattle in the fields below you to the right just as a train passes in the distance at sunset.

As already mentioned,
Churchill Greens, Gray Fox, Loblolly and Lowlands have long walks from one of their greens to the next tee. It's not the walk I mind, it's the time it takes which can screw up the foursome play timing.

I walk about 50% of the time and have not seen any difference in playing time. The usual hold up is someone on the green who takes 5 minutes to line up their putt. Given that they miss most of the time, I haven’t seen anyone who might play on the senior tour.

It really had some great scenery before the houses went in!
