Picture a line drawn between each of the white stakes. That is the official out of bounds line. The difference in the grasses is only a rough approximation and is limited by where the big mowers can go. In a tournament you would go by the line between the white stakes, and in the groups I play with, that is the definition that we use, not how the grass is cut. There are also local rules indicated on the scorecard which may be a fence or an adjacent road indicating OB.
