University's 9 'Hole'
Disc Golf Course
University has a PAR of -----, applying
PDGA standards based on our long links:
"PDGA Disc Golf Course Design Standards
April 24, 2000
Disc Golf Course Design Goals
Course
Design Elements ; Section 8. PAR:
Par
on each hole is primarily for recreational players... Total par
should range from about 68-75 on an 18-hole course. Many holes
should be par 4s. A hole up to 200 feet (60m) is at least a par
3; from 200-280 feet (60-85m) is a par 4; from 280-400 feet (85-125m)
is a par 5. 440-550 feet is par 6. (Add 1 to par for every additional
150 feet (45m) if needed.) Adjust par on a hole up or down if
it has a significant upslope or downslope, respectively. Since
it's easier to keep score in your head, advanced and expert players
usually play all holes as par 3s (even if they rarely score 3
on long holes).
University was designed with the PDGA standards
in mind. According to the PDGA; "Typical 18-hole course
setups for advanced players range from 4500-6000 feet (1350-1800m)."
University's 9 is about 2,446 feet.
"There is no maximum length allowed for a hole. The longest
holes in the world are about 1000 feet (305m)." University's
longest hole 3 is 349 feet from the
tee on the sidewalk. Hole 5 is
344' & 6 is 328'. Holes over 280
feet are all par 5.
38 is a good recreational par with 'catch' frisbees; Golf discs
and a bit of effort will bring down the score, but anyone who
gets a under 27 at University is an impressive player.
