The design of the course should take into consideration the flow of people as they play through. Improper groupings of holes with higher par values can result in “bottlenecks” that slow down play over the entire course. Obviously a par four is going to take longer than a par 1 and every course has a mix. Proper planning can intermix the ...

Grading Design and Construction. Developers should be aware that certain sites will not be suitable for golf course development. The site selected should lend itself to use of natural terrain (avoids location of golf course, clubhouse facilities, or parking lots in an area requiring substantial alteration of the existing terrain or vegetation (i.e. filling of ravines, flattening hills, etc.).

length to the par 3 holes on most courses with a par of 70 to 72. Extreme contours, land features that must be avoided like wetlands or boundaries restricting full use of a site for holes can demand somewhat more land. Only a routing plan done with an accurate map will indicate Naturally a course with shorter holes takes less land.

Keep in mind what, exactly, par represents: A hole's par is the number of strokes an expert golfer is expected to need to complete the hole. And all pars (3, 4, 5 or 6) include two putts.
Experienced golfers are more attracted to interestingly design par 3 courses with long enough holes. The developers of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail thought so much of par 3 courses they included one at each of their eight golf resorts around Alabama.
1 Par 3: Up to 250 yards 2 Par 4: 251 to 445 yards 3 Par 5: 446 to 600 yards 4 Par 6: 601 yards or more
