Communities with Executive Golf Courses

An executive golf course offers a concise version of the traditional 18-hole layout, and you’ll find some of these courses in communities in Martin County. The main differences between them focus on the hole lengths and set pars. While a regular 18-hole course has an average par of 71-72, the executive style typically falls in the low 60s range. In terms of length, a standard 18-hole course spans approximately 6,700 yards, in contrast to the executive’s more modest 5,200 yards or thereabouts. This means that playing on an executive course is both shorter and faster. Although similar to a par-3 setup, executive courses also feature par-4 holes and occasionally a par-5.
