Green The whole golf course according to golf rules. However, in popular usage, it refers to the putting surface.
Fairway The area of the course between the tee and the green that is well-maintained, allowing a good lie for the ball.
Rough Long grass areas adjacent to fairway, greens, tee off areas or hazards.
Birdie One stroke under par for a hole. Also possibly derived from the term "It flew like a bird" to indicate a good shot.

Bogey A score of one over par for the hole. To play a hole in one stroke over par.
Double bogey A score of two over par for a single hole.
