A large, specially designed area with lawns, obstacles, and holes where golf is played.
Der neue Golfplatz wurde direkt an der Küste mit Blick auf das Meer angelegt.
The new golf course was built right on the coast with a view of the sea.
The word is a simple and logical compound made up of 'Golf' (the sport) and 'Platz' (an area or space). So it is literally a place where you play golf.
Hinter dem Hotel erstreckt sich ein riesiger Golfplatz.
Behind the hotel stretches a huge golf course.
To describe the location, you use 'auf dem Golfplatz' (on the golf course) with the dative. To indicate direction, you say 'auf den Golfplatz' (onto/to the golf course) with the accusative.
Wir haben den ganzen Nachmittag auf dem Golfplatz verbracht.
We spent the whole afternoon on the golf course.
The component '-platz' is used in German for many sports facilities. If you see '-platz' at the end of a word, it is often a playing field or an area for a specific activity.
Neben dem Golfplatz gibt es auch einen Tennisplatz.
Next to the golf course, there is also a tennis court.
