pitch-and-putt

Par-three course

Pitch-and-putt is a simplified form of golf played on a small course with short holes, typically under 100 yards.

Players need only a pitching wedge and putter.

The game emphasizes approach shots and putting rather than long drives: We played pitch-and-putt at the municipal course.

Also used attributively: a pitch-and-putt course.
