The teeing area is the designated starting point for each hole on a golf course. It is typically marked by two tee markers, which indicate where players should place their golf balls for the first stroke. The area is usually flat and well-maintained, providing a clear and level surface for a successful tee shot. Players must tee off from within the boundaries of the teeing area, which can vary in size and shape depending on the specific hole. The distance from the teeing area to the hole can differ based on the course layout and the chosen tee markers, often referred to as the forward tees, middle tees, and back tees.
