I could easily add a "1 to 5" rating for each exec course based on this thread

This is an excellent resource! Thank you for sharing it. :clap2:

Even some of the PGA champions tour players ride in a golf cart and they are much younger than most of us . A cart allows 80 and 90 year old golfers to still play and also others younger who have a handicap. Life is great. Fore!

Agree. Slow play is created by looking for balls and insisting on putting the ninth shot into the hole.

Agree with this... Walkers in almost all cases keep the game moving and do not slow play. We have played in many mixed (carts & walkers) groups and it is the players who are not paying attention to play ready golf are the ones that slow play.

Yeah, one time we were playing with a guy who rode in a golf cart. He fell behind a little, so I went to check on him and he had fallen asleep.

I would say most executive courses are walkable, Gray Fox would be one I have played that is not walkable as a few holes are spread apart and not counting the walk to the 1st tee!
