Back tees, often referred to as the championship tees, are the furthest set of tees on a golf course. They are designed for more experienced players who can hit the ball longer distances. Playing from the back tees typically increases the overall length of the course, making it more challenging. These tees are marked with a specific color, usually black or gold, to distinguish them from other tee boxes. Golfers who choose to play from the back tees should be prepared for a more demanding round, as the added distance can affect club selection and strategy throughout the game.
