par-three golf
Quick Summary
Par-three golf courses are a variation of traditional golf designed for situations where open land is scarce, often found in urban areas. On these courses, every hole is a par-three, meaning it is expected to take three strokes to complete. These holes are typically around 100 yards (90 meters) long.1
In contrast, a standard 18-hole golf course can exceed 7,000 yards, while an 18-hole par-three course can be laid out in approximately 1,800 yards. Players often use irons for shots on these shorter, par-three holes.12
