The Golf Course

What is a round of golf?

A round of golf refers to a complete play of all the holes on a golf course. Typical rounds include:

18-holes: All holes of an 18-hole golf course.

9-holes (in): First nine holes of an 18-hole golf course.

9-holes (out): Back nine holes of an 18-hole golf course.

During a round of golf, players start at the first tee and progress through each hole, hitting their ball from the teeing area towards the green, and finally completing each hole by sinking the ball into the hole on the green.

A round of golf can take several hours to complete, depending on the pace of play and the size of the group.
