The greens are huge so they have a lot of areas to put the pin.
Actually, most of the "official" greens are much smaller than they look on TV. You can't really tell the difference between the fairway and greens with the type of grass and cut being the same. In person there are small white dots that outline the green and one of the biggest complaints has been the limited place to put pins on the severely sloped greens.

You can hit a ball dead center of the fairway and it rolls 50 yards left or right into a bunker. Same with a approach shot.
Same thing with the Open Championship yet no one complains on those links courses.


british open courses don't run out to that degree at all ...

I've said this in other threads on the subject but the course really is terrible, the greens are garbage. Player is 100% correct
