Everywhere I've ever played with those, you can pull them out and move them. That's weird that they'd be immovable, are they cemented in or something?
Agree. Similar to a sprinkler box, you get relief from stance and swing but not line of flight. Any course that has 150 poles cemented in must have a moron in charge.

Are there stakes on both sides of this hazard or just on the side closest to the fairway?
This. All dependent on if there are red stakes on both sides of the hazard. If there are stakes only on the fairway side then your ball is in the hazard and you can proceed accordingly. If there are stakes on both sides of the hazard then your ball is in play and you can proceed accordingly.
