18 holes

Complete golf course

A standard round of golf, referring to the number of holes on a regulation course.

Playing 18 holes typically takes three to five hours.

The phrase also names the course itself: There's a nice 18 holes just outside town.

Nine holes is a shorter alternative when time is limited.
