I agree, the rough height is important. The rough should be deep enough so hitting into it makes for a more difficult shot, but when it’s deeper than the height of the ball it can significantly slow the pace of play with people searching for their ball. Bermuda rough is nasty, and the ball almost always sinks in right down to the ground. When the rough is deeper than the ball, sometimes the only way to find the ball is by stepping on it.
