I often read threads where the tee sets are mentioned, but without knowing the order of the tees, or how many there are. Could someone fill in with the sets of tees from various countries?

In Norway, we got these, from shortest to longest:

Red: Ladies tee
Blue: Ladies back-tee
Yellow: Mens tee
White: Mens back-tee
Black: Mens back-tee

Most courses only got red, yellow and white, where white is used as championship tees. Men usually play from yellow, but I suppose the lower handicaps also play from whites.

I don't think there is a set standard anywhere. It is mostly up to the individual course.

Around me, the majority is like this.

ladies - red
senior/ladies back - yellow/gold
mens front - white
mens back - blue
mens championship - black (sometimes gold if not already in use)

Although some courses use completley different markers. I play one that uses jade/copper/silver/gold/black. And have seen a few other 'different' combinations.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

The "Tips" or pro tees are gold or black depending on the course.

That might be "normal" but it's no where near standard. I've played courses with the gold being back, with green being back, with red being back, with blue being back. You get the point.

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

Very True...when it comes to this topic there is no standard.

Quite frankly, color means nothing. I've played courses where the tips are gold, where the tips are blue, where the tips are black, where the tips are purple. One course I've played the last 2 summers has them labeled from short to long: Brick, Limestone, Copper, Gold and Slag. Another course I play calls the back tees the "Rock" tees.

It's better to use descriptive terminology when discussing them: Front, mid front, middle, mid back, and back. It eliminates a lot of confusion.

Out where I am (socal) most courses go something along these lines:

Red = Ladies White = Mens Blue = Championship (or whatever the course is calling them) However, it is common to have more than just these three. Often times there is another set between the ladies and regular men's and usually I see those as green or gold. Also sometimes there are further tees being black, gold, or silver. It really just varies from course to course. The only thing that seems to stay fairly constant is that red is ladies and white is the mens.

Agreed.

At the Robert Trent Jones courses in Alabamastan, tees are (back to front) purple, orange, white and teal. On the newer courses that measure over 8,000 yards, they have added a black set as well... for the masochists.

  • G400 - 9° /Alta CB 55 Stiff / G410-SFT - 16° /Project X 6.0S 85G / G410 - 20.5° /Tensei Orange 75S
  • G710 - 4 iron/SteelFiber i110cw Stiff • / i210 - 5 iron - UW / AWT 2.0 Stiff
  • Glide SS - 54° / CFS Wedge / Glide 2.0 SS - 58°/10 / KBS 120S / Hoofer - Black

Here in Japan it seems to be in line (mostly) with what US courses are using: front-to-back: red (ladies) gold (seniors) white (men) blue (men back tee / championship) black (when you feel like killing yourself, as it is usually just besides a large tree that doesn't let you aim freely)

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
