par 3

Shortest golf hole

Par 3 is a golf hole designed to be completed in three strokes—ideally one shot to reach the green and two putts.

Par 3 holes are the shortest on a course, typically under 250 yards.

A par 3 course consists entirely of such holes, often used for practice or quicker rounds: We played the par 3 before dinner.
