Every hole has a par rating - usually 3, 4 or 5. One under means one less than this. So on a par 4 hole a score of 3 is one under par. This is called a birdie.
Depending on the golf course, the set par can be anything, but it is very common for the par to be 3 and 4
Par for a golf course is typically based on the length and difficulty of each hole, not the total yardage of the course. Each hole will have a designated par value, which is the expected number of strokes a skilled golfer should take to complete the hole.
