Who cares. It's just an imaginary standard that means nothing.

Just as there is no such thing as universal par, there is no such thing as a birdie/bogey etc. If a little digit on a sign can make you feel bad about your play, you're doing it wrong.
I'm mapping holes and making tee signs for a new course right now. There are no pars.
Both of the above only matter if the course is going to be hosting A teirs or better, otherwise, just make up a number, any number, and play it.
Well first you have to argue about it on DGCR for a couple of days.
And then Steve West will make a graph.
We are already halfway there apparently.

I came here to chew bubblegum and write reviews. And I'm all out of bubblegum.
barring being severely uphill or having severe doglegs (in which case par 4 is possible) more likely bad holes than anything else.
So, par is now 3? (Yes, it makes a difference.)
:wall:
Par is a three. That's 18 scoring 3, a par, and 117 scoring 4 or higher.
For that hole, for the group of players in the set, that would be a par 4.
However, the tees are labelled Blue and Gold and those colors have a standardized meaning.
Blue means for Advanced players, and Gold means for highly skilled Pros. So, the pars that are assigned to those tees should be based on those kinds of players.
All the Blue tees being set to par 3 looks right. For Gold, only the 609 foot hole might be a par 4, but all 3s is probably better.
For the pars you calculated for the Gold Tees, the appropriate color-coded skill level is White (Intermediate). I'd suggest adding a column where you copy the Gold tee lengths, call them the White tees and use your pars for the White tees.
Just like ball golf, yep.Mauve tees, vermillion tees, puce tees, prissy tees...oh sorry, prissy isn't a color...but it is what par is if it isn't for the best players in the world. Coddling the masses - gotta love it. :|
