A carry-shot is penal by definition. But aside from that 110 yards is not asking too much from the mid-level player.
Other factors, however, should be considered:
--Any elements (first hole jitters, last hole pressue, tall vegetation obscuring landing area) that might cause a player to overswing will add to the relative (psychological) difficulty of the carry.
--How many of these carries are there on the course? One or two carries a round is reasonable, but stacking them up can get into the player's head and give the course a "reputation."
--How wide or accepting are the fairways? Does the player also have to consider accuracy to a great degree? Making the player think about flush contact as well as not slicing can create disastrous results.
--Are the carries on par threes, fours, or fives. A carry on a medium to short par four is usually not a problem, but a mandated carry on a long par four where the player already feels he or she needs to bust one to get it there in two can cause overswings and more disaster.
--Wind patterns can turn a 110-yard carry into a 150-yard + carry.
Having played many rounds with my father-in-law - who shoots in the 95-105 range - on golf courses in Florida where wetlands often intersect holes, I've seen firsthand the psychological effects that even short carries can cause.
