Why Is Pitch and Putt Good For Beginners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many reasons why Pitch and Putt is a good play for Beginners and Novice golfers to try out there game and we break these down below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Pitch and Putt Courses are Smaller and Shorter <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A pitch and putt golf course is usually made up of 9 holes. These holes are shorter and this shorter hole lengths make it easier for beginners to play the game and complete a round in a shorter amount of time. We have an article on how long is a pitch and putt golf course<\/a><\/strong> here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can be less intimidating for players who may not yet have developed their skills, power or distance control. They are also great for families to play together<\/a><\/strong> as they level the skill difference, at least in terms of driving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With holes being averaging between 60 and 90 yards ( more on that in our how long is a pitch and putt article) and on occasion being as short as 20 to 30 yards, these are great for both children<\/a><\/strong> and beginners to learn the fundamentals of swing and power control before heading to those huge par fives on a full size course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Pitch and Putt Courses Are More Cost Accessible<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A full set of golf clubs can have up to 14 clubs in that heavy bag. A pitch and putt course allows you to play with 2<\/a> ( in fact 3 in the maximum in tournaments!) So while we recommend 3, even that it considerably less than 14 expensive clubs for a full set.<\/strong>( no need for a driver here!<\/a><\/strong>) Considering golf clubs, decent ones, are not cheap pitch and putt is certainly more accessible to beginners who may not want to continue to full length golf courses. We have a more in depth article on pitch and putt costs here on the site. We have linked below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
