There are no standard specifications for a golf course. Each course is laid out uniquely, often following the natural contours of the land, and each provides a different set of challenges to the golfer. The distance from the tee to the hole is usually from 300 to 500 yards for each hole and a typical 18-hole course may cover as much as 200 acres and have a total yardage of 6500 to 7000 yards. 4, record 1, English, - golf%20course

Sur un terrain qui compte neuf trous, le golfeur effectue deux fois le parcours pour jouer une partie. Les grands terrains comportent les dix-huit trous conventionnels, bien que certains puissent en compter 36 (deux parcours), 54 (trois parcours), ou même davantage. 5, record 1, French, - parcours%20de%20golf
