No. Tee boxes are designed to challenge a player's game, not make them hit a certain club off the tee. A great player can play from any tee box because they have command over all their clubs. Put them at the back or the front of the golf course and it really doesn't matter, because they can hit everything and they think the game well. The only reason I like the back of the golf course is it forces me to hit more long irons as second shots and makes me scramble more. It is a challenge to my complete game, and not just because I have to hit driver. More often than not, I will let the people pick the tees to play from as it just means different clubs to me.
The way I pick the tees to play is to look at the par threes and look for variety. I think you've hit the limit when you set yourself up for shots you can't hit on the par threes. Stick in your wheelhouse on the par threes and you should have a very comfortable round and have some fun.
