Par is not a distance, it is a specified number of strokes to complete a hole. It ranges, depending on the length of the hole, from 3 to 5. 3 for shorter holes, 5 for the longer holes. All pars are preset on courses and holes. Generally, pars 3s are no more than 250 yards, par 4s are no more than 470 yards, and par 5s are no more than 690 yards.

Golf what distance does a par 3 become a par 4 and then a par 5?

A typical length for a par-three hole ranges between 91-224 meters/100-250 yards; for a par-four hole, between 225-434 meters/251-475 yards; and for a par-five hole, between 435 and 630 meters/476-690 yards. The slope of the course (uphill or downhill) can also affect the par rating. If the tee-to-green distance on a hole is predominantly downhill, it will play shorter than its physical length and may be given a lower par rating and the opposite is true for uphill holes. Par ratings are also affected by factors such as the placement of hazards or the shape of the green which can sometimes affect the play of a hole such that it requires an extra stroke to avoid playing into hazards.

What is the distance that you have to hit a golf ball in the beginning of the game?

The Tee Shot is the first shot off the tee. The distance that the player wants it to go is going to depend on the specific hole they are playing. On a par 4 or par 5, they want their drive to go as far as possible toward the green. They may want it to be short of specific hazards, so may not hit as hard as they can. On a par 3, they are going to attempt to hit the ball onto the green directly.
