on a
golf course, the mowed part between the
tee (the starting
point) and the
green (the
area of closely cropped grass surrounding the hole) to which the golfer hits the
ball. The fairway is the
optimum place for the golfer to
hit the
ball, rather than into bushes, ponds or trees which may be on either side of the fairway.
