Hole Lengths

August 30, 2004 I played at a course the other day where the distance from tee to green on a par three was 230 yards. I thought it was unfair at the time and still do. The average golfer can't hit the green from 230 yards. I think anything that requires a driver off the tee has to be at least a par 4. The USGA disagrees. Here is an article about the USGA guidelines for golf hole lengths and par.

  • We have one here in Corpus Christi that is 235, uphill, and into the prevailing wind—which many times is 25 MPH+.

    I agree.
