Par 3 length is something that often comes up during golf's Major Championships with the seemingly ever-increasing yardages of short holes. But are there any rules in place to limit, regulate or determine par-3 lengths?
The short answer is no. It is up to the club, course owner, or tournament organiser to determine the par of their holes. Therefore a par 3 can be as long as they decide it is to be. Or rather, any length of hole on the course can be deemed a par 3 by them if they so decide.
