Not sure if this has been up before, but I know it was mentioned in some thread.
I just wonder why the courses all play about 7000 yards, or less. My Real Life home-course is 6800 meters from back-tee. That would be about 7600 yards? That would only mean longer irons shots into green. With proper designed greens, that is no problem. If you land it correct spot, it will feed to the hole. If you land it in the wrong spot, it will leave you a tester.
I know that Im not good enough to hit the correct spot, and not with long irons. I have not figured out the wind, or the automatic drift to the left...
I know some wont like longer courses, and less birdies, but I would like to play it, if it a quality course like many of those I see made in here.
Hope Im not beating a dead horse with a stick here? (is that the right expression?)

Yeah I would like to see longer courses being played on tour. I'm currently designing one, hopefully it will be tour worthy.

Then cue the "can't get GIR on a par 4" or "Can't get close on my second shot on a par 5."

2nd shot on par 5 is irrelevant, I mean it is a par 5 for a reason. If courses are designed well, you could hit a long par 4 GIR every time with a good shot.

There are some courses out there with long par 4s which can't be reached in 2 strokes if you have a wind in your face now that's frustrating.

Two reasons I wouldn't want to see longer courses in general. First, the winds can make it tough. Secondly and more importantly, the inability to put enough (or any) backspin on the ball with long irons. The longer the course, the softer the greens would have to be. However most don't like to putt on slow greens. I think once HB has both fairway and green firmness sliders, it can be more feasible.. I enjoy a shorter course that requires some shot shaping and placement. Longer is not always harder.

I can't see nothing wrong with long par 4's IRL in a strong wind it is some times not reachable, but On the other foot you will have a strong tailwind on possibly a par 5 that will now be reachable, gotta take the rough with the smooth, just my opinion on this topic
