Fairway

Fairway

Fairway

The piece of playing ground between the tee box and the putting green. The fairway is manicured so that it offers a good lie, or surface, for the ball (Worldgolf.com). The fairway is the aim of golfers on all holes except those on which the par is low enough that the golfer aims for the putting green (Kelley, About.com).

Much attention is paid to the type of grass growing on fairways and the length it is maintained at because the characteristics of the grass and its height affect how the ball lands and how far it rolls once it hits the ground.
