GOLF HOLE ANATOMY

Grass on a golf course is kept at three different lengths.

The names of the grass are:

Fairway

Rough

Green

FAIRWAY

• The fairway is the short grass that runs up the middle of every hole.

• It is named the fairway because it is thought to be the most fair path to the hole.

ROUGH

• Rough is grass that is kept at a much longer length than the fairway. The rough runs on both the left and right side of the fairway.

• The reason it is named the rough is because you will have a rough time on the hole if you hit it in the rough.

GREEN

• The green is the shortest grass on the golf course.

• The hole is located on the green.

• The reason the grass is the shortest on the green is because you use a club that helps you roll the ball along the ground and into the hole.

The short grass in the middle of the course is called the fairway.

The green is the part of the golf course where the hole is located, it is the shortest grass on the course.

The rough is the longest grass on the golf course, it is the hardest grass to play from.
