When we start getting more rain, you'll hear the starters give instructions like today is rough only, or we are cart path only. I always hate cart path only, especially when it's the entire 18 holes because the cart path is on just one side of the fairway. More often, it's used only on certain holes and they'll give you a cheat sheet or mark them on the score card, such as #6 is cart path only.
Rough only gives you the option of either side for parking. Those two you don't go on the fairway, you park and walk to your ball while carrying a couple of clubs. 90 degree rule you can go to your ball, but try and stay on the cart path as long as possible. Many times the normal fairway entry points from the cart path will little stakes to keep you from driving off the path too soon.
Rough only, park and walk to your ball
During the very dry seasons, some courses will make this a seasonal rule.
