To me, most complaints are with the fairways and the amount of turf cushion from which to play. I attribute this to a few factors.
You left out the fact that many golfers come from the north where fairways tend to to be longer and fluffy. They have learned to scoop the ball rather than to correctly hit down and through the turf. Most good player would rather play off of rock hard fairways than to have grass growing up around the ball. Go play golf over in Scotland on some of the greatest, most renown courses in the world. You'll see how golf is meant to be played.
