Nothing but the R&A guidelines suggests up to 220 for a par 3 for ladies and 200+ for a par 4. Bearing in mind the run and tight lies even a fairly short hitting lady can probably putt for their 2nd shot. The hole is designed to be a tough par 3.

With all this talk of driveable par 4’s at 200-240 yards. Do they count as driveable if you’re hitting an iron….shouldn’t it be ironable?

I just assumed if they are par 4 length for men, they would be for women as well, assuming they are shorter than for the men.
Except there’s a par 3 for men at Seacroft (back 9, around hole 12) and the ladies tee was further back, and therefore a par 4.

I like the one at west hill just before the halfway hut (can't remember the number but don't think its 9), driven it both times I've played it, and walked off with a par both times too

1st at Westwood, but only short when off yellows at front of tee area. "We" eagled it in a scramble. I hit the green.

I remember that bit. Hellish start to a round.

13 @ Ashbourne is a good drivable par 4, but it’s easy for big hitters, very difficult for shorter hitters

It’s only 210 to the middle of the green. It does play longer if you play across to the fairway.
It’s not an easy shot by any measure. Although I thought it easier off the whites or new yellow than the old yellow tees.
Once upon a time I had a putt for eagle on the first 3 holes. I made 3 birdies. We won’t go into the rest of the round ?

It is a great opening hole for sure. Won a decent Bradford union foursomes trophy at Northcliffe a few years ago, fond memories. (My partner tee’d off on the 1st ?)

Probably the 14th at Haste Hill for me - since it's the only one I've ever driven. ?

12 is also one of my favourite holes but thinking about this further. The only two times I can recall driving the green on 12 is when the par3 11th is playing as a par5 nightmare in the opposing wind.
What about driving 18 on The Old, surely the most heroic finish to a round we can dream of? That would be nice but it is beyond me even in the wind. Maybe one day the weather gods will align with a bone dry and breezy July and I’ll chance a big bounce off Granny Clark’s or parked car…

That I can recall...the 303yd 6th of Dunkeld and Birnam, not called Gully for nothing...with beautiful views over Dunkeld and the cathedral.
