個人が静止したボールを打つため、対戦相手と直接打ち合う球技ではない。一般に精神力が重要とされ、精神力7割技術力3割とも言われている。プロゴルファーでさえ、プレッシャーのためわずか30cmのパットを外すこともある。
基本的に個人で行う球技だが、団体戦もある。個人戦の場合においても、競技者（ゴルファー）とコースを同伴するキャディがいる。キャディはクラブを持ち運びするだけではなく、競技者にアドバイスできる唯一の存在となる。このため名選手の陰に名キャディありとも言われる。

Many clubs use a ranking system. Caddies will start as a trainee, and be promoted through the ranks of Intermediate, Captain, Honor, and finally Championship. Many courses start their caddies off at the B level, and after a year move them to A, and on their fourth year (if they have earned it), they will receive the title of Honor caddy. The intermediate and captain ranks can usually be obtained within the first year of caddying, and the honor rank is usually obtained in the second or third year of caddying. Championship takes at least 6 years and often as many as 10 years to obtain. An alternative ranking system often used in the American Mid-West proceeds as B level, A level, AA level, Honor level, and Evans Scholar. Caddies often obtain a promotion in rank once a year, while often Honor takes two years to achieve and Evans Scholars are only produced by winning the venerable Evans Scholarship for university. However, in many American clubs, caddies are divided simply between "B" caddies (usually younger, less experienced caddies who often carry only one bag), and "A" caddies (usually older, more experienced caddies who almost always carry two bags).
