Separate the men from the boys? Really? What is strategic about being able to carry prodigious distances? The OP wasn't discussing the Pro Tour where only the top 10% even average 290 yard drives! Go to any regional event and you will find great consideration to the shortest players in the field. Even at club pro events, so many entrants don't drive very far, or practice enough to break 80 and they like set ups that they can enjoy themselves and shoot a reasonable score. Nowhere does a forced carry much over 200 yards say "enjoy the day."
I think women have been subjected to far more forced carries than men will ever endure, BTW. A famous architect remodeled a Texas course and put in a bunker in front of a par 3 green. The ladies told him that they couldn't carry the bunker, couldn't play out backwards because there was a pond in front of the bunker, and couldn't play out forward because it was so deep. In essence, they said, the gca had ended their round right there at the 9th hole. The gca, not exactly an enlightened type, went back and put a similar bunker on the first tee shot on the opening hole to end the round before it started!
Since when it is a good thing in architecture to end a person's fun or competitive chances via design? Not just favor one player type, like the ANGC wide fw and steep greens favored long hitters and great putters, but ending any chance before they tee off? Don't we like to see the Corey Pavin types have a chance if they play well? Or do we want those guys to have to DQ or not enter because they can't carry a pond with a tee shot?
Short version: Avoid forced carries and if that is not possible, shorten them to reasonable distances for the shortest hitter likely to use that particular tee, maybe 180-200 from the back and maybe 50-60 yards from the forward tees. Certainly no more than 2/3 the typical tee shot distance from those tees.
