A tee box is where you hit your first shot on a single golf hole from.

Each golf course has multiple "sets" of tee boxes for different skill level, age, and gender of players.

Typically, a course will have the following tee boxes:

  • Championship / Back Tees - generally, championship tees are reserved for scratch golfers and pros that hit the ball far
  • Blue Tees - generally, blue tees are called "members tees" and represent the tees that most men will play from
  • White Tees - generally, white tees are for beginner men, women who hit the ball further than average, and senior golfers who hit the ball further than average
  • Red Tees - generally, the red tees are for women and senior golfers
