A drop zone is a designated area on a golf course where players are required or allowed to drop a ball after hitting into a penalty area or when a specific local rule applies. Drop zones are most commonly used near water hazards or environmentally sensitive areas to keep play moving and protect the course. If a ball enters a penalty area and the course’s local rules specify a drop zone, the player takes the appropriate penalty stroke (usually one stroke) and drops the ball within that marked area instead of using standard relief options. Drop zones help simplify rulings, reduce confusion, and improve pace of play—especially on holes where normal relief would be unsafe, unfair, or slow.
