Pro Shop
Common Phrases
Explained Simply
The golf course's main retail and check-in area where you pay green fees, rent equipment, buy balls and apparel, and get course information.
Example
“Arrive 30 minutes before your tee time, head to the pro shop, pay your green fee, grab a scorecard, and ask the staff about course conditions.”
Why it matters
The pro shop is your first stop at every course. Staff can tell you cart rules, pin locations, any closures, and local tips for playing that day.
Common beginner mistake
Going straight to the parking lot or practice area without checking in at the pro shop — you may miss your tee time slot.
