A golf-course guide is provided with true to scale information maps of the individual holes for orientation about the quirks and distances of the respective hole. Detailed golf-course features which serve at least as an orientation aid for visual position determination are indicated by way of each information map of the respective hole which is shown to scale. A measurement aid is provided which includes a distance scale which corresponds to the scale of the information map, in order for it to be possible to determine the distances which are relevant for the player. A golf-course guide of this type can be handled simply and produced inexpensively.
