in golf ,how the distance between two holes is decided & what is the minnimum distance?

Answer 1

Huh? The measurement is not between the holes, it is from the teeing area and the hole. This distance is not so much "decided" as it is measured. When a typical golf course is laid out, there are 12 par 4 holes, 4 par 5 holes and 4 par 3 holes, with the par 3 holes being the shortest.

I've played par 3 holes well under 100 yards, most on the pro tours are in the 200 yard range.

Answer 2

Before a golf course is officially opened, they have a ceremony to summon a "golf fairy" from birdie-land. The golf-fairy decides what the distance between holes is for that course, and also stipulates the minimum distance!

But seriously, on a regulation golf course there are typically 14 par 4s, 4 par 5s and 4 par 3s. Par 4s typically measure between 250 and 450 yards from tee to green. Par 5s are typically over 450 yards (and rarely over 550) and par 3s typically under 240 yards (and rarely less than 100 yards, on a normal course).

The reasoning behind "par" is how many strokes it should take an accomplished player to reach the greeen + two putts.

Answer 3

There is no definite decision between two holes or one hole. The decision to place each hole depends on the land that is being looked at to build a golf course, if a golf course is suited for the area and how much time and money some one is willing to spend. I have played golf all my life and seen the distances between holes be anywhere from 20 feet to almost 1/4 mile. It just depends.

Answer 4

there is no minimum...some older public courses have had tee boxes so close behind the previous green that tall chain link fences (like a baseball backstop) were installed for safety.
that would be an end to end example.
aside by side example would be two paralell holes with no rough or trees between them, just a wide, shared fairway.
Golf was not started by an architect or engineer...it was played by shepherds on the towns common grazing lands, and tees and greens were chosen by the fact that they were relatively flat by nature, and the grass was good there (and so closely chomped by the wee sheepies), and you picked the best route through the crud to get to the next good spot, the green.

Answer 5

x-15a2 ive never played a 20 hole course before 12 par 4 4 par five and 4 par 3???? Ive played 9 18 27 and 32 but never 20.

Answer 6

The course's set up is based on the design of the course's architect. Based on the real estate they have to work with, the owner's construction budget and their talent, they can make a hole as long or as short as they want.

Answer 7

It is decided by the nature or the designer.

Answer 8

It's not. There's none.
