Turn

The completion of the front nine holes of an 18-hole golf round, marking the transition from the first half to the second half of play. The turn represents a natural break in the round where players often pause for refreshments, assess their performance, and adjust their strategy for the back nine. Many courses feature a clubhouse or snack bar at the turn, providing opportunities for food, drinks, and brief rest. Scoring at the turn is often compared to back nine performance to evaluate consistency and momentum throughout the complete round.
