Yes, a hole can have out of bounds on both sides of the fairway. This situation often occurs on narrower holes where the course design intentionally places out-of-bounds areas adjacent to the fairway to increase difficulty. Golfers must be cautious and accurate with their shots to avoid these penalties. Such design elements can add strategic challenges to the game.

In golf if you hit OB how far can you move your ball away from the hole?
Out of bounds is the strictest rule in golf, and often the harshest. You have to replay the ball from the exact same place you just played that shot from. So if you are on the tee and hit one out of bounds, you tee it up again and you are now playing your third shot off the tee (This includes the one shot penalty). If you are in the fairway and hit it out of bounds, you replay it from as close as possible to where the original was hit from.
