Golf courses

Golf courses

A standard golf course has 18 holes. On average, golf courses are 6,000 m long, and extend over 40 to 50 hectares of land.
However, modern golfing offers many different golf "courses", such as Pitch & Putt and Compact courses...
 
Pitch & Putt courses have smaller measurements. They only have par 3 holes.
Compact golf courses are usually 9-hole courses, with shorter and easier par holes than a standard 18-hole course.

1. TEE
From where you play your first shot on a hole; generally raised over the fairway.

2. FAIRWAY
Unobstructed and well-maintained part of the course leading from the tee to the green.

3. ROUGH
Non-maintained area with long grass and shrubs.

4. BUNKER
Hollowed-out obstacle lined with sand.

5. GREEN
Very short-mown grass zone, where the hole is.

6. LEFT DOG LEG
Sharp left turn leading to the green, the opposite of a DOG LEG RIGHT (turning right to the green).

7. DRIVING RANGE
A driving range is where you first learn to hit the ball.

8. PUTTING GREEN
A putting green is where you can practise rolling the ball towards the holes.
