Sean,
Thanks for the clarification.  That's what I thought you were going for,  I definitely think there is a difference between the two.  I recently posted about a course that I enjoy, but would consider too punishing to make it a course I would want to play everyday.  After empying out a fresh box of Pro-V's and standing on the tee playing my third shot for the fifth time in the round, you start to feel like you've just gone 15 rounds with Ali, and never landed a punch.  The course is not necessarily to tough as you say, but poorly struck shots are punished very severely. 
Or maybe I'm just a wuss.

Count me as one of your golf wussies.  The only thing worse than a lost ball 5 yards (hell, lets call it 10 yards!) off the fairway is looking for it!

A couple things might be worse, walking back to the tee when you don't find it, or standing on the tee hitting 3 hoping to hell you don't do the same thing again.

I can't recall the last time I made the dreaded walk - I have to have something very special going for me to walk.  In fact, I recently lost a ball on the 1st hole in a medal and didn't go back.  I can readily accept an NR more than the walk!  I have to ahve something very special going for me to walk.

I think of golf as a goal of always trying to improve.  Is there a better way to accomplish that than playing everyday at some of the golf courses we have considered as 'tough' in this thread.  I've played Oakmont and I would enjoy playing it as my every day home course.  Every 'casual' nine holes would be a grind, but thats what I enjoy about golf, the grind.  I'm sure at some point in my life when I don't hit it as well, I'll post on this thread again with a different opinion.
