At least more so than resort course rough (aka not rough) on what I presume are fairly slow greens.

I certainly don’t expect the upkeep or green speed of my 20k a year private club. But I also don’t want to be entirely disappointed either as golf will be a major part of my retirement.
I can't think of a single green in TV, that doesn't have at least 1 bunker around the green.

Most greens in TV, you can roll it or bounce it up there. If that wasn't the case, the natives would rebel.

Holed it out of the bunker on 17 today. I love bunkers!
