fairway
Between tee, green
A fairway is the closely mowed strip of grass between the tee and the green on a golf hole, where players aim to land their shots for the easiest approach.
Fairways contrast with the rough—the longer grass flanking them—and with hazards like bunkers and water.
In nautical contexts, a fairway is a navigable channel in a river, harbor, or coastal waters, marked for safe passage of vessels.
