Hitting a golf ball off the fairway results in it coming to rest in a less than desirable place. It could end up in a sand trap, a creek, or in the rough which is the higher cut grass adjacent to the fairway.
From most reviews, Fairmont Scottsdale is a favorite among many people who have been there. It is a very beautiful golf resort and is nearby to many shopping places. The con is just that the interior of the resort is not very pretty.
No, only one player is supposed to hit at a time.
No, the ball you start the hole with is the hole you finish the hole with - unless of course you lose it.
The first tee is usually behind the clubhouse at a traditional golf course.
A golf course superintendent's job is to manage the labor time, materials and financial recourses needed to take care of the grass and landscapes off the golf court.
No. The word "rough" means coarse, not smooth, or areas off the fairway in golf. The imitative spelling for a bark by a dog is "ruff ruff" (similar to "woof woof").
Golf involves various types of surface. The area around the hole is the finest quality, the shortest and the best maintained and is known as "the green". The area from the tee-off point to the green is known as 'the fairway' and is kept short, but not as short as the green. Other parts of the course are 'managed' but not quite 'maintained'... the grass can be quite high and there can be trees and/or other plants.... this is known as 'the rough'. There is a huge amount of variety in grass types and the types used on golf courses varies by area and by preference of the management of each club.

Howard Hughes once landed his airplane on one of the fairways of the Bel-Air Country Club located in Los Angeles, CA to impress Kathrine Hepburn, who lived off the 14th fairway. Hepburn was taking lessons from one of the pros at the time. Hughes emerged from the aircraft with his clubs and joined the twosome.
Golf is played in a golf course. A typical golf course has 18 holes, however, smaller golf courses have 9 holes as well. Championship level golf courses are known to have even 27 or 36 separate holes.
