Split Fairway

When the course to a hole is divided, either by a natural feature of the land or by a hazard or other impediment big enough to force the player to choose a path around the divide to get to the hole (Kelley, About.com). The fairway is the area of land between the tee box and the green for a hole (Kelley, About.com).

The obstacle that splits the fairway can be a berm of mounded up earth big enough that the player must go around (Kelley, About.com). Or the fairway could be split by a waste bunker, which is much larger than a normal sand trap and has rocks and vegetation in it. Unlike a sand trap, a waste bunker is not a hazard and players need not comply with hazard rules in it.
