The golf course (l0) preferably comprises an average of three holes per core, there being a tee area for each hole, and at least two holes in each group of three being located relatively close to one of the opposite ends. One of the three tee areas is situated to play one of the holes in par three, while a second tee area is situated to play one of the holes par four, and a third tee area is situated to play one of the holes in par five. An adjacent core of three holes may have three tee areas situated to play all three corresponding holes in par four. Players, playing together in a unit, are provided with golf balls visually distinguishable from the golf balls of every other player in the unit. The players play a first group of three holes by teeing off of a tee area for all three holes in a group of three before initiating a shot to the green of any one hole, and then putting out on all the first group of holes. A second unit of players also are provided with golf balls visually distinguishable from the golf balls of every other player of the second unit. The players in the second unit initially play the first group of three holes, after the first playing unit initiates shots to the green for all three holes, by teeing off from a tee area for all three holes in the group of three before initiating a shot to the green of any one hole, and after the first player unit putts out on all of the first group of holes.
