Hmm. So there is no standards. All I’ve seen is white, blue, green, and red, but I haven’t been to a lot of golf courses. I guess I will just have to limit it to white red green and blue, then maybe pink silver orange black maroon gray…. ugh. I’ll just have to do it ghetto style! For the tips, I’ve seen blue, white, gold, black, green and red (yes, red!) I’ve seen yellow and gray/silver trees as well. Never seen pink or orange, but I would be surprised if they don’t exist somewhere.
There’s an executive course nearby that has six tees on each hole which stretch the course from 1350 yards to 3000 yards (these are *long* tee boxes!). One of them is orange — I suppose they were running out of colors. My home course has, from long to short, black, gold, blue, white, and green.

Response:
I’ve never played that course when they had a tournament or league going on, so I would guess they might put tee markers out for that. And for that matter, when I played the course, it was still pretty new. They may have since added markers. But at the time, I thought it was kind of a fun idea. — Randy Troll intolerant.

Yeah… what they say can actually be true, but I will not accept their responses. No feedin el trolls no moe!
Dustin, you are a jerk. Gold is a very popular color for a tee marker and usually represents the championship tees. Of course, you probably do not get to play form them to often. Black is also a widely used color, btw. Red, Green, White, Black, Blue, Gold are all very popular colors. Perhaps you need to get out more? David

When I play, we generally walk up to the first tee and say "what do you want to play today" and pick a tee-box. We could reference the score card. I never pick the tips on a course I haven’t played before, but a good player might choose differently. I haven’t heard that there are any rules that I could mess up on by playing the wrong tees. Of course there’s the joke about someone from the club using his loud speaker to ask a player to not tee off from the Woman’s tee – but do they really care? Depending on what you want to work on – maybe playing the lady’s tee might be just the ticket for a round. Picking somewhere in the middle should be fine for any but the most extreme courses.

Is there a standard set of colors? My home club: green [7100- tips], blue [6600-men's long], white [6000-men's regular], yellow [5400-senior], red [4800-ladies]. On some holes the yellow and red tees are together; on other holes the yellow & white tees are together, but generally this is the five sets we use. Another course recently played: gold [tips], blues, whites, reds. I’ve also played on courses that are black, blue, white, gold & red from long to short. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – So… I have the standard Blue (pro), White, Green, Red tee box locations in the database.

Response:
It seems as if many courses have their own standards. There is a group of 3 or 4 courses called the Palms in Fort Lauderdale that has 5 different tee box colors. I don’t remember what they are but from the shortest to the longest is about 2000 yards difference. You are expected to play what suits your game I guess. Bonaventure East has Blue (tips), White (regular), Gold (seniors), and Red (Ladies). The west course doesn’t have the Gold. It seems as if there is no standard. Don D.

One of our local courses, Milton, OR (par 3), gives you a choice of the following colors: Green. That’s all… one teeing ground for each hole, with the exception of the tenth hole where you’re given the choice of a spot that makes you hit over the city water storage tank or one that lets you hit around it. Both are still marked with green wooden markers, though. — Eliyahu Rooff www.geocities.com/Area51/Underworld/8096/HomePage.htm RSG Rollcall http://u1.netgate.net/~kirby34/rsg/rooffe.htm

Gold is quite lovely. Make sure you use the red one dear.
Response:
You are assuming a non-existent standard. Some courses have white and blue as short and medium men’s tees and black or gold as the so called professional.

Around here, blue and white are men’s tees, and the most common tips is colored black.

Used to be red, white and blue. Red=Women’s (front), White=Men’s (middle), Blue=Championship. Nowadays, I see tees of all colors, gold, green, black, etc. I’ve seen some courses, in fact, where there are no red, white or blue tees, they use other colors. Some courses don’t use colors at all, they just use names. One course I frequently played in DFW had 27 holes, three "nines," and they were called the "red nine," the "white nine" and the "blue nine." All three tees on the red nine were red. All three tees on the white nine were white. All three tees on the blue nine were blue. (I suppose this was so you’d know which course you were on, since all three nines had #1 tees adjacent to the clubhouse.) Everybody just picked whether they were playing from the back, middle or front. But one course had ‘em all beat. They had no tee markers at all. They had several "teeing areas" (five or six tee boxes per hole, as I recall) and you could tee of from where ever the heck you wanted.
