Golf is played in a course that has been carefully designed. It consists of 17 holes where players must hit the ball with a club onto the green. The player who is successful at playing the ball in as few strokes as possible wins.

To answer this question, we can use golf’s scoring system which provides an indication of how many shots were taken before the hole was completed and hence how many shots it took to complete this hole.

There are 17 holes on a golf course. There are 18 holes on a football pitch.
