golf courses

Where drivers swing

Golf courses are grounds designed and maintained for playing golf, typically featuring 9 or 18 holes across landscaped terrain with fairways, greens, bunkers, and hazards.

The term often implies the entire facility including clubhouse and amenities: The golf course has a nice restaurant.

Course design varies from links-style coastal layouts to wooded inland courses.
