Where good drivers may be handicapped (4,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

golf course

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'where good drivers' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

'be handicapped' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'be' could be 'go' (going is a kind of being) and 'go' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'may' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for golf course that I've seen before include "Possibly links" , "area for drivers" , "Royal Troon or Carnoustie, for example" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
