'round on this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'crack cryptic clues for' is the wordplay.
'crack' becomes 'go' (synonyms).
'cryptic' indicates an anagram (a cryptic or obscure order of the letters).
'clues'+'for'='cluesfor'
'cluesfor' is an anagram of 'lfcourse'.
'go'+'lfcourse'='GOLF-COURSE'
