Court dimensions

In the game of golf there are no specific court dimensions or sizes. There are hundred of different golf courses that consist of 18 holes, none being the same. Below are a few general things that are found in  all golf courses.

There is no set size for a tee box. They can be as small as 4
yards long and 8 yards wide or even get up to 50 yards long. The size
of the tee box depends on the the hole which is different every time. Usually the higher the par is for that hole, the  bigger the tee box is.

Different sizes and shapes of the sand bunkers provide visual interest throughout the golf round as well as facilitate many functions.Bunkers evolve or change over a period of time. The average lifespan of a bunker is twenty to twenty-five years, depending on climatic conditions, original construction and maintenance practices.  

Hazards should be placed on natural highs or lows of the site and should be visible from the approaching shot for tactical decisions. They also should be a physical and psychological landmark. Depth, height and width should vary and be in proper accordance with the desired severity of punishment for the mis-hit shot. An alternate safer path to the hole is important, as average golfers cannot consistently maneuver a golf shot over hazards.

The putting greens also vary in size and shape in just about every hole of golf. A rule was put into place for the putting green to start 20 yards from the hole but has since been changed several times. The size of the hole in the green is 4 1/4 inches with a depth of not more than four inches.
