How many 'Out of Bounds' on your course?

[Dodger]

There is potential to go OB on 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,17.

Managed them all bar 5,10,12 and 13 which to be honest if you manage to go OB on those holes you need shot.

If you have no internal OOBs than I'm struggling to think of why there would be more than one OOB - that being the course boundary? Round our place you could go out of bounds on every hole - admittedly with a little stretch perhaps on a couple of holes but still quite feasible - and we have no internal OOB.

Just got one big OOB and it comes in to play on 8 holes!

 

[richart]

nine, and I have been OB on all of them.

 

[USER1999]

My course doesn't have a boundary at all.

 

[chris661]

Pretty much all of the front nine can have OOB, although to reach it on some holes it would need to be pretty wild. The back nine are inside the front so pretty safe.

 

[Foxholer]

My last club had 10 holes with OB. I only visited 5 of the OB areas though.

My 'normal' one these days has 6, of which I've visited 4!

 

[BrizoH71]

Too many, and I seem to find them with alarming regularity.

No internal ones so mainly the course boundary although white staked ob on 1, 2, (both border the driving range), 11 (not sure why as you're down a steep slope into the river if you're over them), 14 (probably most frequently found), and the right hand side of the 18th (alongside practice area) and through the back of 18 (putting green then clubhouse)!

about 12 of ours have OB as part of the course boundary; some posts, some fences/hedges.

6 of the front 9 have ob right, most of it eminently reachable, so not good if you've brought a slice along for the day.

 

[Region3]

We have OOB (including boundaries) on 13 holes that are very much in play. Another 2 that would need a ridiculously wild shot to get to.

 

[richart]

I hate internal oob. It's an excuse for very poor course design.

Not sure about that. Many old courses when they were designed didn't have internal out of bounds. They were often introduced at a later date for safety reasons and to stop golfers taking short cuts!

Some courses may been able to get rid of internal out of bounds as the trees got bigger and offered more protection between fairways. I can understand your point about not liking internal out of bounds, but I don't think they are always due to bad design.

 

[Fader]

Ok so excluding course boundary's we have:

5th, 6th & 18th.

Just plenty of other trouble everywhere esle to destroy your card!

 

[mcbroon]

We have OOB on 1, 3, 4, 8, 9 (but only if you really shank one off the tee), 10, 11, 13, 14, 15 and 18. Of those, all are course boundaries apart from 10, 11 and 15, which are due to a road that runs through the course.
