But there is a happy medium between rock hard fairways and soft, grassy fairways and I think that's what is sought here.

Maybe I am confused. We are not in Scotland. We are in TV. We have water restrictions but we also have rain (sometimes). The courses that I play seem pretty good. But then I only play north of 466. I guess I don't know what we are all looking for. I doubt that we will see the courses in TV that we see on the TV. Our TV courses are not trying to get professional golfers or put our courses on TV.

Try the other courses in TV and see if you can find some that you like.
