Fast as hell, dry, hard and no rough around greens to stop balls from rolling into bunkers, off greens or coming back off false fronts.
I don't think I could break 125 playing under these conditions from the pro tees.

Makes sense. The greens are the only challenge for modern players, outside of heavy winds which the course organizers cannot control.
The players hit the ball too hard for the other elements to pose much challenge.
