Each course consists of greens, fairways and also hazard spots. An area that is referred to a green is characterized by having low cut grass, and is the easiest to hit a golf ball off of. The fairway represents the smoothest and best path leading to the hole. Hazard spots are things like water, trees and sand traps, which present obstacles to the golfer, and are to be avoided.
