Question

Why 9 hole golf course is called "Executive course"?

Answer 1

Its the distance of the holes...executive courses typically have much shorter holes than a championship course. They usually make the executive courses where land is at a premium.

Answer 2

They are called that because the "executive" set  would go at "lunch" to play. Also, it's not "g*y" to play these courses. Golf is golf. People get way to tied up in the surroundings and forget about the game. You play one shot at a time, no matter where it is. No matter what kind of place it is. No matter of the length or the condition. Just play.

Answer 3

Because top executives who sit on their fat butts all day, haven't got the fitness level required to walk around 18 holes.

Answer 4

It Was Initially A Course Of 9 Holes With Shorter Holes, Now Some Are 18 Holes. But They Are g*y, Fun Only If The Big Courses Are Crowded.

Answer 5

Because it takes so much less time to play these short courses, busy executives can play during the week without taking their whole day up on the course.

Answer 6

Theyre for the lazy sit in the office type

Answer 7

It's the distance of the holes.
