Flag in hole Emoji

Activities

A green patch of grass featuring a small white golf hole and a red flag waving on a pole. It represents the final target on a golf course green.

Usage Context

Used to talk about golfing, leisure activities, or spending time outdoors. It is also frequently used in professional or corporate slang to describe 'hitting the target' or completing a business goal, much like reaching the end of a round. Often paired with 🏌️ or ⛳ to set the scene.

History

Added to the Unicode standard in 2010 as part of the initial wave of sports-related pictographs. Its design was heavily inspired by the iconography found on early Japanese digital maps and golf course navigation apps, which needed a quick way to mark hole locations for players.
