Every Golf course has a par, I want to say it is a preset number of hits alotted for any given course. Example : We are on Hole 4 and the par is 3 I sink the ball in 3 hits. That is par.

The idiom "par for the course" means whatever is expected or normal for that situation. You often hear this said sarcastically, as when someone messes something up, you could say "Well, that's par for the course."
It means "something normal or expected".
On a golf links, "par" is the usual number of strokes needed for the hole or the course in expert play. If something is "par for the course," it means "as difficult, complicated or problematic as may normally be expected under the circumstances." In everyday usage, the phrase is often a comment on some outcome. It can have a positive or negative connotation, but more often than not, the connotation is a little cynical or condescending. for example: John: The company CEO is trying for the third time to make that antiquated system work... Joe, rolling his eyes: "...par for the course..." [In other words, that's about what we would expect from him, isn't it?]
