I was told by a friend that If the distance between these lines was large then the grass would not look good

Since a density can refer to many different aspects of artificial grass, I would like just to emphasize on the stitch count to analyze and answer your question here. Depending on the faceweight and other specifications, each of our product has different stitch count. First, what is the stitch count?
In artificial grass industry, the stitch count means how many total stitches in a square yard of artificial turf. There are couple of main technical configurations that determine the stitch count for each product: tufting gauge and face weight. The tufting gauge is the distance between stitch rows, we have tufting machines can produce artificial grass with gauges of 1/4", 3/16", 1/2", 5/8" and 3/4". There are not necessarily good or bad of each configurations rather than preferences for specific type of products. For an example, we will use the tighter gauge for putting green products, and wider gauges for sports turf which can take in infills easily. On the face weight, the heavier of a turf the more of stitch counts, simple math.
People can definitely see the differences by looking at the backings of each products on the stitches and stitch gauges, but normally you won't see any differences on the surfaces regardless the tufting gauges.
Even though there is no differences on the appearances of artificial grass with different stitch gauges and face weight, functionalities and usages will be different and can be noticeable: you will find the heavier face weight products standing up better and longer and less likely to lay down as fast and Easter to get brushed up.

 | Jonathan Fridley Yes, it's heavier if the stitch is too much. |
