I can't recommend it enough. It's fun even when you're not good at it if you simply adopt the mindset that nothing is more important than getting outside and moving your body a bit.
Also, I hate to generalize, but I've found that course regulars are extremely consistent about being welcoming and patient with newbies. The culture of letting people play through, giving people space to learn, and helping folks navigate tricky course layouts has been remarkably consistent.
My absolute favorite experience was playing in the San Juan islands. The locals were so excited to see us checking out their course... so much that their smiles and waving is still the thing I remember most about that entire trip.
