My biggest pet peeve with CG3D, and maybe it's how these courses are in real life, I don't know, is courses that have the 30-40% influence rough immediately off the fairway. And when will I learn that when you get in that stuff, it's just a chop out back to the fairway? Can't tell you how may times I thought I pured a 6 or 7 iron out of that and then it goes about 85 yards.

I'm fine with it, I'm glad it adds a penalty, but it's way more than 30-40%! Maybe if they renamed it to 'in the rubbish' or something.
Definitely hitting the fairway is a premium, even if you have to give up distance.
I've found the 8-12% rough is about a one-club penalty. 12-18% (not sure if I've got the numbers right) is about two clubs but if you hit anything low lofted it doesn't go too far. And the 30-40% is basically a pitch-out.

I take it back, just skimmed through a video I had saved from Ballbunion Old Course and I had two over 40% and 1 at 39%
That was the hardest course to play despite not having a tree or water anywhere on the course. Heavy rough everywhere you miss, it was brutalLast edited by Jwheels9876; 01-17-2022, 07:54 PM.

It is important to note that the % is calculated from the total length. So if you would normally play 100m, in the case of Rough 40% it would only be 60m.
And 40% is relistic if the ball is sunk in the rought so that you can't even see it and you're not DeChambeau
