Question

What is the average size of a golf course in terms of acres?

Answer 1

about 7300 yards

Answer 2

A result of modern equipment is that today's players can hit the ball much further than previously. In a concern for safety, golf course architects have had to lengthen and widen golf courses. This has led to a ten percent increase in the amount of area that is required for golf courses. At the same time, water restrictions placed by communities have forced courses to limit the amount of maintained turf grass. While most modern 18-hole golf courses occupy as much as 60 square hectometers (150 acres) of land, the average course has 30 hm² (75 acres) of maintained turf.

Answer 3

Anywhere from 140 acres to 250 acres.

Answer 4

The three main courses I play in the suburbs of Chicago average 117, and they range from 6700 yards to 7300.  I guess it matters where the course is (urban, rural) and how long it is.
