Golf courses have not always had eighteen holes. The St Andrews Links occupy a narrow strip of land along the sea. As early as the 15th century, golfers at St Andrews, in Fife, established a customary route through the undulating terrain, playing to holes whose locations were dictated by topography.

There are six principal tours for women, each based in a different country or continent. The most prestigious of these is the United States based LPGA Tour.
