Do you play par 3 and executive golf courses? (photo by Greg D’Andrea<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I don’t really play executive (or par 3) courses. In fact, the last time I played one, it was 2007. I’ve been pretty forthcoming in the past about these length-challenged courses (see HERE<\/a>), but perhaps I’ve sold them a little short (pardon the pun).<\/p>\n

In these tough economic times and (perhaps more importantly) with slow play alarmingly rampant, perhaps we should revisit the idea of sneaking in a few rounds per year on a par-27 (or par-32) course. After all, they are cheaper to play and your round goes much faster.<\/p>\n

Yet when I recently learned one of the nicer courses near me was all booked for the weekend, I declined their offer to play their new executive course instead. What gives?<\/p>\n

Well, not being able to use your driver still bothers me. And even though par 3’s play into my strengths<\/a>, I feel there still needs to be a nice mix of holes (especially with some par 5’s mixed in).<\/p>\n

But I want to know what you think – and to that end, we have two polls for you below. First, tell us how often you play executive-style courses and then, tell us if you would be interested in playing them more frequently.<\/p>\n

Hey, maybe we can kill two birds (slow play and price) with one stone here.<\/p>\n
