A seven course meal is a meal in which you are given 7 different dishes to eat. Typically, when there are many courses in a meal, the portion and serving size of the food is very small. There may be several appetizer, main course, and dessert dishes offered in a seven course meal. A typical menue would be: Appetizer Soup Cold dish Fish Sorbet Main Dessert
A dessert =)

During a 7 course meal, each course would be small and would amass to a meal overall that should leave the diners "stuffed" and satisfied. The first course being a soup (liquid) would not fill the diners up too soon. Personally, I think seven courses sound like the meals historically served up to King Henry VIII and his court in Merry England!
Entree is the main course of a meal.
A meal with soup followed by an entree is 'two course'
You might mean to ask about a 3-course meal, 5-course meal, or something of that sort. The term "course meal" is never used without specifying how many courses are involved, because that is the point of the word "course" in the context of a meal. For example, a 3-course meal would include a soup or salad course, a main course (with meat and a starch such as potatoes) and a dessert course. A 5-course meal might include separate soup and salad courses and a fish course as well as the meat and dessert courses. a meal served in sequential courses, for instance: salad, then soup, then appetizer, then a "palate cleanser" such as a few bites of sorbet, then an entree, then a dessert, then coffee and/or brandy. i think that's 7, which is probably the most common number of courses you read about.
A four course meal is a meal served in four quantities, including an appetizer; normally served in a restaurant.
A one course menu would be for a meal containing just one course, with no appetizers or desserts.
