In the pursuit of better design, I would like to inquire:
When designing a course, what are the general considerations for placing OOB lines?

Is there a standard in-bounds allowance outside the fairway for playability, regardless of conditions? Or is it up to the designer?

Should I always add a certain amount of playable rough beyond a fairway?

Any other ideas about how to handle boudaries? Any opinions, peeves, etc.

Does a generous fairway compensate for a tight boundary at the edge of that fairway?

I look forward to your answers.

I dont use OB lines unless the course dictates it, which I havent come across yet.

I like narrow fairways and heavy rough, no OB.

Ditto, I only use it on real courses where I know there is actually an OOB.
