Answering one of the questions from above, based on two rounds last week - Apple Health tells me I walked 3.8 miles, took 7,800 steps, and climbed 56 floors during a round, which took 3.5 hours. This was playing from the white tees, though I had to pass the gold and blues on all but 4 or 5 holes. Those few shortcuts are probably offset by my chasing tree-bounces and wild throws all around the course for 85 shots, which experienced players probably wouldn't face. My age probably slowed me a bit also - but still probably 2.5-3 hours for a round.
I will say that as a beginner playing my first two rounds ever (other than the learn-to-play course three or four times), I felt like a ball golfer playing my first two rounds ever at Oakmont during US Open week. A bit frustrating, though it was good to see more experienced players also bouncing off the trees in the video above.
