What words are in the golf word search?

Golf lists use everyday course English — tee, par, birdie, fairway, bunker, putter — with no club brands or tournament trademarks.

The full golf word bank has 40 words. Each puzzle picks a set from this list, so no two grids are quite the same:

APPROACH · BACKSWING · BIRDIE · BOGEY · BUNKER · CADDIE · CHIP · COURSE · CUP · DIVOT · DRIVE · DRIVER · EAGLE · FAIRWAY · FLAG · FOLLOW · FORE · GREEN · GRIP · HANDICAP · HAZARD · HOLE · IRON · LINKS · LOB · MATCH · MULLIGAN · PAR · PIN · PUTT · PUTTER · ROUGH · SANDTRAP · SCORECARD · STANCE · STROKE · SWING · TEE · WEDGE · WOOD

Who is this theme good for?

A calm fit for golfers, armchair Open-watchers and seniors who know the scorecard language.

A solving tip

Long words like SCORECARD and HANDICAP stand out; find them first, then hunt short ones like PAR and TEE.

How these puzzles work

Every puzzle is free and plays in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer. Drag across a word, or tap its first and last letter. Easy grids are 10×10 with words across and down; medium grids are 12×12 and add diagonals; hard grids are 15×15 with words in all eight directions. Press Large print above any grid for bigger letters. Progress is saved on your device, and there is never a timer. New to word searches? Read how to play.
