That's true of many golf courses. Rough is maintained differently. Compaction from cart use and constantly driving on grass that's allowed to grow longer, can be more damaging in the rough, than on fairways.

I don't know about that, but last January or February, Mark Verkey at Palmer Legends, instituted a different take on the cart rule. I was told by at least 4 different Starters, the "new rule" was: If there were 3 carts, on each hole, (1) cart had to be designated as "cart path only" for that entire hole. The simple way to implement that in my opinion, was to decide on the 1st Tee, to designate 2 carts and divy it up as "front 9/back 9" or "odd-even".
That said, in 300 rounds of Championship golf in TV, I can't count on one hand, the number of times I've seen an Ambassador make an issue out of where carts were.
