Has anyone ever seen ever seen statistics on the average length of a DG hole?
Just curious given the focus on max distance a warp speed drivers.

One thing about a lot of said courses is that at least six of the holes are below the course average and one outlying long hole bumps the average up, making the course appear longer on its info page than it actually is until you see the individual hole distances, or go play the course.You have to take into account all the little park style 9 holers in the average too, especially in areas like Chicago where those courses are prevalent. Around here I would be willing to bet the average is down around 250-275'.
284 feet 8 inches, from the 2010 PDGA directory of those courses that had either a total length or alternative total length or both listed.
This breaks down to 307 feet 11 inches for the regular tees, and 247 feet 6 inches for the alternates.
25% of courses listed regular length at less than 258 feet per hole. Half the courses had an average hole length longer (or shorter) than 303 feet. 25% had an average hole length longer than 345 feet.
