Morphology

golf-club + head

The meaning 'the part of a golf club that strikes the ball' is directly derivable from combining 'golf-club' (the sporting implement) with 'head' (the rounded or end part of an object). This straightforward noun–noun composition follows common compounding patterns across languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Golf-club head uses head the same way as other tools: the head is the part that does the hitting, like the head of a hammer. So it means the part of a golf club that 'strikes the ball'.
