Type of course where golf played (8)
I believe the answer is:
sandwich
I believe this is a double definition.
'type of course' is the first definition.
(sandwich course is a type of academic degree)
'where golf played' is the second definition.
(town with a famous golf course)
(Other definitions for sandwich that I've seen before include "it's easy to scoff" , "Maybe double-decker" , "Food between slices" , "Layered sponge cake" , "Two slices with something in between" .)
