Played a course up in New England that was a nice course but the majority of fairways were lined with rocks on one side and thick woods on the other. Most errant drives were not being found.
My question is can a course be really good that doesn’t allow much recovery from errant shots on the majority of fairways ? I think of some of the best courses and rarely are most balls totally lost with a bad tee ball left or right

I wonder how many lost balls there would have been at Hoylake if the fairways weren’t lined with spectators.

With in course OB on 18, most were aiming their tee shots at the rough.
