As for the fairways, that's the first time I've heard the fairways in TV are "hard". A high quality Private Club or Tour quality golf course, the fairways are hard as a rock ... not "lush". TV fairways always seem soft and mushy, same as the greens. I'm about 1/2 club shorter in FL, because I can stop the balls on the mushy Greens, something I can't do up North.
Lack of permafrost is to blame.
