You have to take a penalty drop, which is two club lengths from the nearest point of relief. The nearest point of relief being no closer to the hole.
In fact for a ball declared unplayable you have 3 options:-
1) Return and play another shot from a point as near as possible to where that ball was last played (stroke & distance).
2) drop the ball within 2 club lengths of where the ball lies, no nearer the hole.
3) Drop as far back as you like keeping the position of the ball in line with the flag.

Can you declare your golf ball unplayable by landing in the rough?
Yes. Under Rule 28, a player may declare his ball unplayable, and the player is the sole judge of such a declaration.To remedy the unplayable ball, the player may opt to rehit the ball from the last location, drop the ball behind the unplayable lie on a direct line from the hole through the unplayable lie to the drop point, or drop the ball within two club-lengths of the unplayable lie but not nearer the hole.However, declaring a ball unplayable is not a free declaration---the player incurs a one stroke penalty (as if the ball landed in a water hazard).Local rules from the course or club may prohibit this declaration, however. Typically listed as "play the ball as it lies," or similar wording, this would instruct the player to not lift a ball simply due to an unfavorable lie. Violating that rule would incur a two stroke penalty.Also, to declare a ball unplayable simple because the lie is unfavorable would violate the gentlemanly etiquette of the game of golf, and is heavily frowned upon.

The only legal way of lifting the ball when it lies on the edge of the fairway is when the rules committee of a tournament is playing lift-clean- and place.

Can a golf ball ever be dropped in a bunker?
No, but I believe a player can declare it unplayable and therefore take the penalty associated with that rule. ... I think you can take a stroke for unplayable and drop within two club lengths (still in the bunker) or along a straight line back from the flag as far as you want...I think. There are rules that specifically address unplayables. In a fun round, you may consider using your hand wedge to keep the round fun. No sense in taking 5 to get out of a bunker, possibly hurting your wrists, and ruining your spirit for the game...then go practice bunker shots later.
