Sounds like the problem is with the golfer, not the rough.
Why not just eliminate all the "rough", so you can hit the ball wherever you want and not have to worry?
While they're at it, maybe they should eliminate bunkers and ponds, too?

The top of the cup should be 1 to 1 1/2 inches below the putting surface.

I could see that happening on a very rare occasion, but the equipment used to core flagstick holes, is nearly foolproof as it relates to "depth". USGA Rules specify diameter and depth of the cup. The equipment doesn't allow someone to put the cup too low and placing a cup higher than allowed by the USGA is equally unlikely.
Perhaps you and your playmates problem is more related to your putting than the golf course conditions?
