Golf Course

A golf course is an outdoor layout that's made up of tee boxes, fairways, rough, greens, bunkers, water and trees designed to play a round of golf. The course is designed with a series of holes that are either par 3s, par 4s or par 5s. The holes start with a tee box and end with a flag in a hole. Par is the ideal number of strokes it should take an expert player to get the ball from the tee box to the hole. The goal for any player is to get from the tee box to the hole in the fewest strokes possible. The course will either be comprised of 9 or 18 holes. Par for an 18 hole course is typically 72.
