Tee Box

The designated starting area for each hole on a golf course, also known as the teeing ground or tee area, where golfers begin play on each hole. Tee boxes are typically elevated, level areas with well-maintained turf that provide optimal conditions for hitting tee shots. Different tee boxes on each hole offer varying distances and challenges, marked by colored tee markers. Course architects design tee boxes to provide strategic options and accommodate golfers of different skill levels. Proper tee box etiquette includes repairing divots, using appropriate tees, and not hitting until the group ahead is safely out of range.
