Par in golf is determined based on the number of strokes an expert golfer is expected to take to complete a hole or a course. Factors such as distance, obstacles, hazards, and the overall difficulty of the hole or course are taken into consideration when setting the par.

Par for the hole.
When golfing, each hole has a par, and every course (18 holes) has a par. Par is the average number of strokes that a person should be able to take while completing a round of golf. If a hole has a par of 4, it should take the golfer 4 strokes to get the ball in the whole. If a course has a par of 72, it should take the golfer 72 strokes to get the ball into 18 holes.
A birdie is a hole played one stroke under par.
Par is set by the course designer and will yake into account the length of the hole and potential difficulty. Usually a par 72 course will have 2-4 par five hole and the same number of par 3 holes. All other will be par 4. This is a classic or historical course design.
