So we're only talking slow players playing farther back? I'm talking about anyone. I bet if you let me play the 7600 yard tees at Atchafalaya and then the 6700 yard tees, my time will not vary that much if I hit the ball about the same. Why? Because I don't hit a ton of greens from 6700, so moving back won't be taking that out of my game. I'm chipping to get on in 3 on most holes anyway. That's why I don't believe you can make a blanket statement that distance adds time

If I play at 6700 yds where I hit sandwedge into every green on the course, I will complete my round faster then playing 7600 and hitting 3 wood into every par 4. because the chance of hitting more accurate shots with my wedges then 3wood.

If you can hit a long iron as well as a short iron, then yeah adding ~900 yards isn't a big deal. But for the average golfer shooting in the 90s-100s, the difference between an PW-8I into a green is vastly different than gripping and ripping a 5I or 4I. Much more chance for a long iron to slice 50 yards to the right or chunking it 30 yards down the fairway.
If you think you can get it around the green from the 7600 tees the same as you can from 6700 tees, then you could probably expect very little difference in scores as well. So yeah, you might play the same time from each tees, but the average golfer...hell no.
We are talking about average golfers, who, in my experience, tend to lean far more towards the slow side than the fast side, taking more time from further back.
