Maybe the gripe about the greens in not legit.

But if one did step on a green and it altered the
surface signficantly, and a player had to "read" 100's footprints
while determining the line... then we have a problem.

I mean if they are really so spoiled make em play in a junkyard
with crushed metal car fairways. There is a point where a golfcourse
becomes ridiculous.

What is the last tournament anyone can remember that the course
was really unfair in this way... randomness played too significant a role
to the point where good shotmaking did not lead to an advantage (a great drive bounced
the wrong way off the hood of one of a million junkcars that would be struck anywhere you hit the ball)?

I've seen it where they really have trouble getting putts to stop rolling on greens. In the U.S. Open(way far out on Long Island,) and in Australia. In Australia, I saw them actually throw out scores of people who had finished playing the 1st round. They had everyone start the tournament (brand new) on Friday.
