As explained each regular Golf Course consists of 18 different Holes (or 9 for a short Golf Course) and together these 18 holes form one Round of Golf.

To help you find your way on the Golf Course you will typically receive a score card with the details and distances of each map. Often you will also receive a little map like the one shown here that gives an overview of the entire Golf Course.
