What should be the minimum depth of a teeing ground in golf?

The minimum depth of a teeing ground in golf is set to ensure that players have adequate space to tee off without interference or the risk of crowding from adjacent players. The standard specification of 2 club lengths provides sufficient room for players to position their tees and take a full swing, making it practical for accommodating various shot types and club selections.

This measurement helps facilitate an organized flow on the course by maintaining a well-defined area where players can start their holes. The additional space also enhances safety by offering players the necessary distance from each other on the teeing ground.

While options specifying lengths greater than 2 club lengths could theoretically provide more space, they are not required by the rules and might unnecessarily limit the number of tee boxes available.
