Tee-box l The Tee-box or the Tee is a rectangular or square shaped flat surface. The first shot you take is in the teebox. This shot is called the Tee Shot, Teeing or Drive.

Fairway The Fairway is a stretch of closely mowed grass that extends, often in patches, from the tee to the green. To hit into the fairway is one of the main goals in golf since it is a lot easier to hit from the fairway to the green than from the rough or from the hazards.

Green l Green This part of the golf course surrounds the Hole. It has very well groomed grass where you can make your Putt. Greens also differ in slope and firmness making Reading the Green a real art.

Rough This area borders the sides of the Fairways. The rough is rougher as the Grass is kept higher and is less groomed than on the fairway or green.
