This longer grass surrounding the green is known as the fringe and is designed to slow and stop balls rolling along the green from an approach shot or errant putt, preventing them from exiting the green. The closely grazed turf and naturally good drainage of the links was ideal for golf, and areas of longer grass, heather, low growing bushes and exposed sand provided the hazards that are familiar on modern courses. The land is naturally treeless and this combined with their coastal location makes wind and weather an important factor in links golf. Special rules apply to playing a ball that falls in a hazard.

Environmental concerns, along with concerns about cost and human health, have led to research into more environmentally sound practices and turf grasses. This has led to significant reduction in the amount of water and chemicals on courses. Golf course turf is an excellent filter for water and has been used in communities to cleanse grey water, such as incorporating them into bioswales. Famous links courses include the Old Course at St. Andrews, often described as the “Home of Golf”, and Musselburgh Links, which is generally regarded as the first recorded golf course.

After the first shot from the tee (“teeing off”), the player whose ball is farthest from the green hits the ball from where it came to rest; this spot is known as its “lie”. When the ball is in play and not out of bounds or in a hazard the player must play the ball as it lies.[13] The area between the tee box and the putting green where the grass is cut even and short is called the fairway. On par-3 holes, the player is expected to be able to drive the ball to the green on the first shot from the tee box. On holes longer than par 3, players are expected to require at least one additional shot to reach their greens. The putting green, or simply the green, is an area of very closely trimmed grass on relatively even, smooth ground surrounding the hole, allowing players to make precision strokes on it.
