Par is how many shots you are allowed to complete a given hole in. There are par 3s, par 4s and par 5s. In very very rare cases there are par 6s. On a par 3 you are allowed 1 shot in regulation to hit the green, and two putts. On a par 4 you are allowed to hit the green in two shots in regulation and two putts. On a par 5 you are allowed 3 shots to hit the green in regulation and two putts. You don't have to do it that way obviously, but that is how the holes are broken down and pars calculated.
