The general term is a hazard.

- A "sand trap" is properly called a bunker.
- Water features are called water hazards (under current Rules often termed a penalty area — marked with yellow or red stakes).

Both bunkers and penalty areas are types of hazards on the course and have specific relief/penalty rules.
