On a 6200 yard course, that's about 3.5 miles. Factor in walking between greens and tees and let's add another 60 yards a hole so that's about .6 miles, so we're up to 4.1 miles. Now consider that courses are measured in a straight line from mid tee to front of green and consider I hit the damn ball all over the place, let's take that 4.1 miles and multiply it by a factor of 1.3, so we're up to 5.3 miles. And consider that often balls are oddly hit in the woods or whatever danger lurks around the fairway and you need to tromp back and forth, back and forth, avoiding snakes and other hostile creatures and that's another .5 miles. So we're up to 5.8 miles. And finally imagine that since you have other obstacles like lakes and creeks that require you to veer from the straight and narrow and you have to wander around the green pretending you have a clue which way the putt will break, let's add another .3 miles. So we're up to 6.1 miles. And just for good measure, let's assume you have to walk to and from the car to the clubhouse then out to the first tee and let's call that .15 miles. So I guess about 6.25 miles. Since you ought to play that in about 4 hours, that's pretty good aerobic exercise.

Only a couple of miles, depends on the size of the individual links. 3 or 4 miles maximum. Take a pedometer with you next time you go golfing.

A 7000 yard course would be 7000/1760 = 3.97 miles so you could say that a four mile walk would be covered in a standard round of 18 holes.

About 5 miles on a par 72 course allowing for walking from green to next tee

I think it's 1760 yards = a mile so if a course is 6200 yards it's under 4 miles.

Most courses average about 3.5 miles.. but that's in a straight line from tee box to green. If you are like most people, you'll get extra distance (and more varied scenery)...

Did I inform you i offered a Bible? it is all a factor of my very own venture. i'm no longer making plans on changing any time quickly, yet a minimum of, i'm going to have examine it, and that i could have a greater useful understanding. Now if i'm able to easily p.c.. it up and get examining . . . I attempt and shop myself in verify. it somewhat is the proper i'm able to do precise now. there will be days the place i'm able to't be prepared to be superb or to be "even-surpassed" as i've got been defined by potential of excellent acquaintances. And there will be days (like on the instant) the place the silliness that repeats itself daily at right here merely won't activity me. i think . . . i'm prepared to be myself. i'm able to easily desire that's adequate.

You walk about 5 miles up and down hills and pulling a cart with clubs.

figure average course 6900 yds
3 yds to foot
5280 ft in mile
6900x3=20700 ft
20700/5280=3.9 miles
so about 4 miles
