The term COURSE NEEDS can be broken down into two crossword solutions: TEES (4 letters) and GOLFBALLS (9 letters). TEES refer to the small wooden or plastic markers that are placed in the ground at each hole on a golf course. GOLFBALLS are the small, dimpled balls used to play the game of golf. Both of these items are essential for playing a round of golf, and thus are necessary for any golf course.
