What is a hole in golf?
1. The area from tee to the green. 2. The actual cup into where the ball goes.
Definition
1. The individual playing area extending from tee to green, featuring unique design characteristics, hazards, and strategic challenges. 2. The 4.25-inch diameter cup cut into the putting green where the ball must be holed to complete each hole. Understanding both meanings helps golfers appreciate course design and the ultimate objective of each playing area. Holes are rated by par value based on length and difficulty, creating the foundation for scoring and handicap systems. Good hole design provides strategic options and tests various golf skills while maintaining fair playability.
