• Golf is a precision club and ball sport, which
  requires the players to hit the ball in a series
  of holes on the playing surface called courses.
  Golf is one of the few popular ball games in the
  world that do not require a standardized playing
  area.
• Golf courses either have nine or 18 holes.
  Under certain circumstances, the game is played
  twice over on nine holes courses to make it a
  full-fledged 18 holes game.

• Like mentioned above, no two golf courses are
  alike. They may vary according to their entrance
  fee and accessibility to the players, the number
  of holes they contain, or their location, among
  other things.
• In the following section, we shall look at
  different type of golf courses in detail. We
  shall also talk about GolfNorth Properties, which
  has become a leading Canadian operator of
  semi-private and public golf courses. We shall
  also see how this firm can help you play golf at
  some of the best clubs in Toronto and surrounding
  areas.

• Golf Courses Classified According to their
  Accessibility

• Public Golf Courses As the name suggests,
  these are usually run by city Municipal
  Corporation or other governing bodies, and
  require no membership fee.
• The only thing golfers need to pay for is their
  green fee for the day. Some courses may require
  reserving of tee time, while others just allow
  you to walk in and tee off as soon as the first
  hole opens up.

Private Courses These are not open to general
public. You have to buy membership to play on
such courses. Country Clubs fall in this category.
Semi-Private They fall somewhere between public
and private courses. Certain time of the day is
reserved for members to play, while non-members
can play at other time by paying a certain amount
of money.

• Golf Courses Classified by Holes

• 18-Hole Courses They are traditional set-up
  for a course with nine holes making up the front
  and nine holes making up the back.
• Nine-Hole Courses As the name suggests, such
  type of courses have only nine holes and the game
  may be played twice over to make up for the
  deficiency in holes.

7

• Par-3 Courses They are nine-hole courses made
  up of only three par holes. They are most apt for
  amateur players and all players working on
  improving their short game.

• Golf Courses Classified According to Location

• Link Courses These are the oldest type of
  courses. They originated in Scotland where the
  game of golf itself made its first appearance.
  Also referred to as Seaside links, these
  courses are found in coastal areas and contain
  very few trees and other impediments.
• Parkland Courses Inland courses with a lot of
  landscaping and trees. They have narrower or
  lawn-like fairways and often resemble a park.

9

• Desert Courses More popular in US and Middle
  East, these types of courses require tough and
  expensive maintenance and contain few areas of
  green.
• GolfNorth Properties provides you affordable
  access to some of the best semi-private and
  public golf clubs in Toronto. You can visit their
