The short answer: most courses run two markers per tee in three or four tee colors across 18 holes. That is 108 markers with three tee colors, or 144 with four. A 9 hole course needs half as many.
The simple formula
Holes × tee colors × 2 markers per tee.
- 18 holes with 3 tee colors: 18 × 3 × 2 = 108 markers
- 18 holes with 4 tee colors: 18 × 4 × 2 = 144 markers
- 9 holes with 3 tee colors: 9 × 3 × 2 = 54 markers
What changes the count
- Number of tee boxes. Some holes have only two or three tees.
- Spares. Mowers and carts clip markers, so many courses order a few extra of each color.
- Matching pieces. Hole markers, yardage markers and display pieces are counted separately.
