A "tee box" is the designated area on a golf course where players begin each hole. It is typically a flat, rectangular area with a tee marker that indicates where to place the golf ball for the first shot. Tee boxes are often elevated and can vary in size and surface material, usually consisting of grass or turf. Each hole on a golf course has multiple tee boxes, often referred to as teeing grounds, to accommodate players of different skill levels. The distance from the tee box to the hole varies, allowing for a more challenging experience for advanced players while providing a more accessible option for beginners.
