so, you're playing a new course you've never played before.
The tee signs are very detailed, depicting that there are (and where) water hazards between the tee and basket.
but none are labeled as OB nor Casual.
You land in the water (or even on the opposite side of the stream/river/pond)
OB?
OB...? or Not OB?

A hazard that is not marked OB would just be a hazard.

Re: OB...? or Not OB?
All water is casual unless designated otherwise. If it's not labeled as OB or non-casual, feel free to play it as casual.
Of course if you're playing the course in a non-tournament, non-league setting, you can do whatever you want. If you want to play the water as OB, go for it.
