Courses with only one height of turf other than greens

...I don’t like tight run off areas on too many holes.

At my course in NY everyone just uses a putter.

Was practicing today hitting three balls to the same pin using a different club for each ball.

What conclusions did you take away from the 3-ball practice session?

The club I’m at in Naples has a great practice facility. 4 short game areas and the putting green. I asked Jeff Warne what to focus on as I was retiring and had plenty of time on my hands. He said something to the effect of, work on hitting shots with different clubs to develop creativity. Best short game advice I’ve ever gotten. It’s all about creativity.

Mike DeVries’ Diamond Springs in Hamilton Michigan uses one height of turf for fairways and rough.  I though I read that it was to cut down on maintenance for maintains grass and required less irrigation.
