Par 3
Shortest hole type
Pronunciation
/pɑːr θriː/
Definition
A hole where the expected score for a scratch golfer is three strokes. Par 3s are typically under 250 yards for men and 210 yards for women. They require accurate tee shots directly at the green and test precision rather than power.

"The island green par 3 was the signature hole."
