German term or phrase: überspielen
Nach wie vor das Verzeichnis von Golfplätzen:

Durch Wasserhindernisse, Busch- und Strauchbegrenzungen wirkungsvoll verteidigte Grüns und den Bredenbeker Teich, der während der Runde zweimal überspielt werden muss, wird anspruchsvolles und sportliches Golf geboten.

Zweimal wird der Schwierigkeitsgrad weiter gesteigert, wenn an den Bahnen 5 und 8 ein Biotop überspielt werden muss.

Eine zu überspielende Schlucht vor dem 11. Grün und drei geschickt platzierte Teiche machen den Platz noch anspruchsvoller.

TIA

crossed; played over
Explanation:
Like a wide deep gulley, you have to fire far enough to reach the ground on the other side. So "played over" is probably more accurate.

Thank you, David! I was able to use both negotiate and play over in the translation (so thank you also, Herrmann), but you provided very good references.
