Eagles can be achieved on reachable par-5 holes, as well as playing par-4 hole in 2 strokes and a hole-in-one par-3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_88 counter-hierarchy

The eagle will be one step higher than a birdie and one step lower than the albatross or the double eagle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_an_Eagle_in_Golf\"><\/span>What is an Eagle in Golf?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Each hole in golf scoring is allocated with a par value. This is the expected amount of shots for a hole by a good golfer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An eagle occurs when a golfer scores the hole two shots under par.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For instance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A par 5 hole has a normal par score of five.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the golfer completes the hole in three shots, he is two shots under par.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Therefore, a score of three in a par 5 hole is an eagle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is applied to just one hole and not a full round of golf. If your score is 70 for a par-72 golf course, it means you have scored two under par for the entire round. However, scoring two under par does not mean that you have recorded an eagle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eagle_Scores_by_Hole_Type\"><\/span>Eagle Scores by Hole Type<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Hole par<\/th><th>Eagle score<\/th><th>What it usually looks like<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Par 3<\/td><td>1<\/td><td>A hole-in-one, also called an ace<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Par 4<\/td><td>2<\/td><td>Driving close to the green and holing the next shot, or holing out from the fairway<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Par 5<\/td><td>3<\/td><td>Reaching the green in two shots and making a one-putt<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Par 6<\/td><td>4<\/td><td>Finishing in four strokes; par-6 holes are uncommon<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most frequent eagle score is 3 on a par 5. An effective golfer may have a great drive, get to the green on the second stroke, and score an eagle with just one putt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2 on a par 4 is a much less frequent result. In many cases, it requires hitting the green on the first stroke on a short par 4 and sinking the putt or sinking the approach shot on the second stroke from the fairway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hole-in-one on a par 3 counts as two under par, and thus, it is an eagle, too. However, in ordinary conversation, it is normally referred to as a hole-in-one or an ace and not an eagle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eagle_Examples\"><\/span>Eagle Examples<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Example_1_Eagle_on_a_Par_5\"><\/span>Example 1: Eagle on a Par 5<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You play a par-5 hole:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You place your drive in the fairway.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You get to the green with your second shot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You make the putt.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your result is 3 on a par 5, or an eagle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Example_2_Eagle_on_a_Par_4\"><\/span>Example 2: Eagle on a Par 4<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You play a par-4 hole:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You tee off close to the green.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You make your second stroke into the hole.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your result is 2 on a par 4, or an eagle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Example_3_Eagle_on_a_Par_3\"><\/span>Example 3: Eagle on a Par 3<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You hit the hole on your tee shot on a par 3.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your result is 1 on a par 3, two under par.

Eagles are more common for professional golfers due to their ability to hit the ball far enough, accurately, to play well close to the hole and also make putts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is unlikely that recreational golfers will get an eagle during each game, maybe for one season or even throughout their whole career. One does not need to be a pro golfer to get an eagle, but it usually takes some great shots and sometimes luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eagles are hard to achieve since they usually require:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Two strong shots on a par 5 and a made putt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hole the approach shot on a par 4.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drive the ball on the green or at least close to it and make the one putt on the short par 4.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make a hole-in-one on a par 3.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if a player hits the par 5 in two shots, he needs a good putt to make an eagle. This is why many golfers are as excited about making eagles as about hole-in-ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eagle_vs_Birdie_vs_Albatross\"><\/span>Eagle vs. Birdie vs. Albatross<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Score<\/th><th>Meaning<\/th><th>Example on a par 5<\/th><th>Difficulty<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Birdie<\/td><td>1 under par<\/td><td>4<\/td><td>Achievable for many golfers<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Eagle<\/td><td>2 under par<\/td><td>3<\/td><td>Rare and memorable<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Albatross<\/td><td>3 under par<\/td><td>2<\/td><td>Extremely rare<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Condor<\/td><td>4 under par<\/td><td>1<\/td><td>Exceptionally rare<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Birdie is an excellent result.

The albatross is very rare; it normally appears if the golfer holes out the second shot on a par 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Four on par 5 is a birdie.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Three on par 5 is an eagle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Two on par 5 is an albatross.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Is_an_Eagle_Recorded_on_a_Score_Card\"><\/span>How Is an Eagle Recorded on a Score Card?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On a conventional paper score card, it is common to mark golfers with circles all scores that are better than par:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Birdie \u2013 one circle around the score.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eagle \u2013 two circles around the score.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Albatross \u2013 three circles around the score.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For instance, if your score is 3 on a par 5, you may write \u201c3\u201d on the card and make two circles around it, to indicate that it was an eagle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The digital score cards and golf apps will have other ways of marking the eagle; they might use colors, icons, symbols or \u201c-2\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Is_an_Eagle_Reflected_in_the_Score\"><\/span>How Is an Eagle Reflected in the Score?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The eagle reduces the score by two shots against par.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Assume you play a par-72 course, and make an eagle on one par-5 hole. If you manage par scores on all other holes, you will finish with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>72 \u2013 2 = 70<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is, you will shoot 70 or two under par for the round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your final score will depend on how you will perform on the rest of holes. An eagle may be canceled by bogies or even double bogies, but it will significantly improve your score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Example_Scorecard_Impact\"><\/span>Example Scorecard Impact<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Hole<\/th><th>Par<\/th><th>Your score<\/th><th>Result<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>1<\/td><td>4<\/td><td>4<\/td><td>Par<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2<\/td><td>5<\/td><td>3<\/td><td>Eagle<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3<\/td><td>3<\/td><td>4<\/td><td>Bogey<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4<\/td><td>4<\/td><td>4<\/td><td>Par<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Across these four holes, you are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>0 - 2 + 1 + 0 = -1<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So you are <strong>one under par<\/strong> after four holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Make_an_Eagle\"><\/span>How to Make an Eagle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are no guaranteed techniques to make an eagle in golf; however, you can increase your chances to achieve such results by doing everything right and wisely during the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Identify_Reachable_Par_5s\"><\/span>Identify Reachable Par 5s<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eagles occur in most cases on par 5s. Find holes where your solid drive and using a fairway wood, a hybrid or a long iron can bring you to the green in two shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Never attempt a dangerous second shot if you see some water, trees or a bunker around the green. The eagle chance is great, however, the bogey from such trouble can ruin all your efforts very quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Improve_Your_Driving_Distance_and_Accuracy\"><\/span>Improve Your Driving Distance and Accuracy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Distance plays an important role when you play par 5s, however, accuracy is equally significant here. It is much better to have a nice drive which will allow you to get a good angle for your second shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Concentrate on your technique and proper balance, and do not try to swing as hard as possible on every hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Develop_Your_Long-Approach_Skills\"><\/span>Develop Your Long-Approach Skills<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many chances to make an eagle are related to the possibility to reach a par 5 in two shots. Practice your fairway woods, hybrids and long irons and be sure that you are able to make advances confidently from 180 to 250 yards, depending on your skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Know_When_to_Lay_Up\"><\/span>Know When to Lay Up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is not the best decision to try to reach any par 5 in two shots. There are many cases where it would be much safer to lay up the ball to your favorite wedge distance and get a chance to make a birdie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good golf game requires from you making the right decision, rather than being aggressive all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practice_Your_Short_Putts\"><\/span>Practice Your Short Putts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if you make two great shots on a par 5 hole, you still need to make a putt. Sometimes it is a 5- or 8-feet putt which will bring you either eagle or birdie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you practice pressure-style short putts, you will convert more scoring chances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Play_the_Right_Tees\"><\/span>Play the Right Tees<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If all your par 5s are unreachable for you in two shots, you do not have any chances to make an eagle. Playing from the tees that correspond to your distance increases your chances significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You need to choose the right tees according to your driving distance and your skill level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Make_an_Eagle_on_a_Par_3\"><\/span>Can You Make an Eagle on a Par 3?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Hole-in-one on a par 3 hole is an eagle since it is two strokes below the par.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, such result is always called a hole-in-one or an ace, and &#8220;eagle&#8221; is the name used mostly for 3 on a par 5 or 2 on a par 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Make_an_Eagle_on_a_Par_4\"><\/span>Can You Make an Eagle on a Par 4?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. A score of 2 on a par 4 is an eagle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is possible in two scenarios:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You drive the ball on or near the green and take your second shot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You manage to hit the ball into the hole with your second shot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A par-4 eagle is very uncommon as most golfers are unable to reach a par-4 hole from the tee, and even those few who can are unable to make a putt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Make_an_Eagle_on_a_Par_5\"><\/span>Can You Make an Eagle on a Par 5?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, it is possible to score an eagle on a par-5 hole. When you score 3 strokes to complete the hole, you have an eagle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A typical par-5 eagle will involve the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Drive the ball into the fairway.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hit the second shot to the green.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make a putt.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A golfer might also score an eagle by driving the ball into the green and then managing a hole-in-one on the second shot without making a putt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_an_Eagle_Count_in_Match_Play\"><\/span>Does an Eagle Count in Match Play?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, when playing match play, an eagle is just your score on that particular hole. It may be instrumental in helping you win that hole, but the score does not get transferred as in the case of stroke play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For instance, when playing match play, an eagle means that if you score 3 on a par-5 hole, while your opponent scores 4, you win the hole, thereby increasing your match score by one hole. For example, your match score goes from all square to 1 up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you were playing stroke play, scoring an eagle means that you scored 2 less shots than the par for the hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_an_Eagle_Count_for_Handicap\"><\/span>Does an Eagle Count for Handicap?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, an eagle is used to calculate your gross score and score differential just as any other hole score, with the exception of some handicapping maximum score restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simply put, it means that the actual score you posted gets used to calculate your handicap. Scoring 3 on a par-5 hole means that 3 is written down as your score on that hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Handicap-wise, there may be certain formats and rules regarding score posting. If you are not sure, please contact your club, golf federation, or handicap organization in your country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_Eagle_in_Golf\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions: Eagle in Golf<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1790013944392\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_an_eagle_in_golf\"><\/span>What is an eagle in golf?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>An eagle in golf is a score of two strokes under par on one hole.
