Each hole on a golf course has a starting point. The teeing area is the starting point. The teeing area is the only place on the golf course where you can 'tee up' your ball, or raise it off the ground, by placing it on top of a tee. Almost all golfers, especially beginners, will benefit from this.
The teeing area is marked by a pair of tee markers. There are frequently several tee markers on each course, each of which is designated a different colour. The colour corresponds to a line on the scorecard and denotes the game's length (yardage). If you're playing the Blue tees, for example, there's a line on the scorecard labelled 'Blue.' On each hole's teeing area, you'll tee off from the Blue tees, and your scores will be recorded on the 'Blue' line of the scorecard.
The teeing area is defined as the space between the two tee markers and two club-lengths behind them. You must tee the ball inside the rectangle, never in front of the outside tee markers.
Teeing areas are also known as tee boxes, and in the Rules of Golf before 2020, they were referred to as 'teeing rounds.'
Each hole on a standard golf course features three or more teeing locations, with some holes having as many as
six or seven teeing areas. Once you've decided on a teeing place, you'll play the rest of the round from those tees.
Golf courses are sets of holes in the game of golf. A 'full-sized' golf course has 18 holes, and a regular round of golf consists of playing 18 holes. Teeing areas, fairways, and putting greens, as well as rough, bunkers, and penalty areas, are all part of the golf course.
A golf hole always starts with a teeing area (sometimes known as a tee box or teeing field) and finishes with a putting green. The fairway is located in the middle, and the rough is located outside of these sections. Bunkers and bodies of water known as penalty areas are hazards.
The fairways connect the teeing areas to the putting greens. Fairways are generally set off and easy to spot due to the contrast between the height of the grass in the fairway and the taller grass — known as the rough — on either side of the fairway.
