Yards, meters, and average club distances
Golf distance units differ by country. Courses in much of Europe and Asia mainly use meters (m), while the US, UK, and Canada use yards (yd). By international standard 1 yard is exactly 0.9144 meters, so you need to convert when comparing course distances in meters against yard-based distances.
| Yards (yd) | Meters (m) |
|---|---|
| 100 yd | 91.44 m |
| 150 yd | 137.16 m |
| 200 yd | 182.88 m |
| 250 yd | 228.60 m |
| 300 yd | 274.32 m |
Below are average (total) club distances for an average male amateur. Distance varies greatly with swing speed, gender, club and ball specs, weather, and altitude, so treat these as fun reference figures.
| Club | Avg distance (yd) | Avg distance (m) |

The meter values in the table are auto-calculated as yards × 0.9144. Figures are estimates and vary widely by individual.
