How many miles....golf?

Question

I have to walk 18 holes today and I was just wondering how many miles it is? How hard is it to walk that far? I'm not a fast walker, and with the golf bag, it will probably be hard...right?

Answer 1

Its not hard for me. I enjoy walking more than riding. As for milage its probably  around 3 or 4.

Answer 2

It's about 6 to 7 miles.

You can rent a pull-cart at the course. It will make things much easier for you.

The "course yardage" might make it look like it's only about 3 miles, but that is measured from the tee to the green, right down the center of the fairway.

In reality, you will need to walk from side to side, you will walk around the green. You will also need to walk from the green on one hole to the tee box of the next hole. That can easily add 100 yards (or more) on each hole.

Answer 3

Depends on the length of the golf course obviously, but 1000 yards is a little more than half a mile so a 5000 (kinda short) course is about 2.75 miles and a 6000 yard course would be about 3.3 miles and so on....its not that hard (i was a caddy for 8 years though) cuz you stop and then walk and then stop again and then walk.

Answer 4

its about 7 miles total

Answer 5

one thing to take into consideration also is that the distances given are based on straight lines from tee to green.  you may end up going from side to side on each hole increasing total walking distance quite a bit over eighteen holes.
