An under-analyzed fact is that as we get older, the trajectory of our golf shots gets flatter, in addition to obviously shorter. And as we hit the ball flatter, we have more problems holding it on firm and fast greens.
So, yes, I love it as my ball goes farther on firm and fast courses, but keeping my flatter shots on the greens, is more difficult.
There's probably no easy solution. But, as has been said, building a firmer, faster course requires a consideration of all the related features--cross-bunkering in front of greens, hazards too close to greens, etc.
On balance, I love courses firm and fast, but give us an overall design with room and features that work.
