A "Par 3" is a type of golf hole that is designed to be completed in three strokes. Typically, these holes are shorter than other types, usually ranging from 100 to 250 yards in length. Players aim to reach the green in one stroke and then putt the ball into the hole in two additional strokes. Par 3 holes can vary in difficulty based on factors like elevation changes, water hazards, and the placement of bunkers. They are often featured on golf courses as a way to provide a quick and enjoyable challenge for players of all skill levels, including beginners and experienced golfers alike.
