The boundaries of the teeing ground are defined by a pair of tee markers. The front, left and right sides of the tee are denoted by the outer edges of the tee markers, assuming the perspective of a player standing in the teeing ground and facing the hole. The back boundary is two club lengths (no more than 8 ft (2.44 m)) further from the green than the front boundary.

The surface of the teeing ground is generally grass, cut short to allow the least possible interference with the ball's lie.
