because you truly didn't know, were being sarcastic or google isn't your thing....in any case "championship" course is a misnomer as it was first used to describe where a championship tournament was being played(i.e.:the PGA tour stops)...then is was used to lure guys who played at golf to appeal to their egos as though a longer course was a better course....now it applies to about any 18 hole course that has been rated by the USGA...

I would venture a guess that about 80 percent of the golfers here and other places, that I've played 18 holes with overestimate their abilities and would have a better time playing from the *ahem* forward tees as it was excruciating watching them humiliate themselves from the white, blue and gold tees here in TV....
