A lot of newer golfers might be confused about some of the rules and details about the tee box so I’ve put a short explanation together.
At most golf courses there are three separate tee boxes per hole. This number varies but it’s rare to see any less than two: one for men and one for women.
A lot of courses will have two more tee boxes as well for junior golfers and “professional” or “experienced” players. Each set of tees is based on the starting distance to the hole. So the professional tees are the farthest away from the green and then the men, women and lastly the junior tees.
The idea behind different tee boxes is to level the playing field and make the round competitive for everyone in your group regardless of their skill level, gender or age.
