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.
