Well done, Henry -- that's it ! Please accept a generous tip; and set the next brain-teaser.

Being facetious -- and at a loose end -- I see golfers hoping for a "hole in one"; or to finish the round triumphantly and get to the "nineteenth hole" -- the clubhouse bar. If only we were doing this sixty years ago: there would be available for an answer, the station of Hole ("for Black Torrington") on the delightful but useless North Devon & Cornwall Junction Light Railway: viz. line from Halwill Junction to Torrington (passenger service withdrawn 1965); but to quote Lewis Carroll, "as it isn't; it ain't".

What surrounds the hole and what does a successful golfer do there?

Am getting silly again (know almost nothing about golf) -- is there some golfing jargon involving the word "cop" -- and the old crime-fiction thing, "it's a fair cop, guv" ? -- Meols Cop?? (I've no idea fully, why: as said, this whole suggestion is silly).

It's already established that "Green" is part of the answer, that must narrow it down a lot.

Nothing for more than 24 hours; wonder if I might after all, come in with another of my daft ones (continuing with the golf theme, to a certain extent) -- Man takes his badly-trained dog for a walk on a golf course (presumably when no-one is playing) -- prognosticating how things will go (situation chaotic) -- forecast: "Tee, tee, Towser !" "Grr !"

I can't but help think of Polesworth, which I believe has a distinctly limited service -- except for the "Poles" bit: can't think why.
