Golf Club Distance Chart 2025: Every Club Type From Beginner to Pro

Is your distance holding you back from hitting lower scores? Or given how far you typically hit it… should your handicap be lower?

How far you can hit the ball is highly related to your handicap. So I’ve gathered data and put it all together into these golf club distance charts for men and women, from beginners right through to pros on the PGA/LPGA tour (listed in both yards and meters).

All measurements are typical CARRY distances in normal weather and elevation. This is why they might look shorter than some other numbers you see which are reporting TOTAL distances. This has a bigger impact on the longer clubs like drivers, woods and longer irons that tend to roll out more.

I chose to list carry distance because this is the more important number than total distance. When selecting the best shot, where you will land the ball is the most important factor:

• Will it carry the hazard/bunker?
• Will it land on the green?
• Will it land short of the green?

Once you know where you will try and land your ball, you can then consider expected rollout based on things like the club you are using, shot type you are planning to hit, ground surface conditions (wet/dry, hard/soft), elevation changes etc.

Note also that your actual carry distances will change on any given day based on a various elements like:

• Actual weather (heat, humidity, wind)
• Course elevation (higher = further)
• The ball you are using
• Your specific swing speed
• And of course, how well you hit the ball (heel/toe, fat/thin etc.)

Mens Golf Club Distance Chart (Yards and Meters)

When it comes to golf, distance is everything. Strokes gained data has proven that more distance results in lower scores.

Here, we’ll break down how far golfers of all skill levels typically hit each of their clubs, so you can get a sense of where you stand in relation to your handicap.

To truly get YOUR carry distances, the most effective method is to use a simulator (lots of ranges have them available now), and work your way through your clubs, striking 10-20 balls with each club as you go.

From this note down your median carry distances for each club considering the conditions you are hitting in and use that going forward.

Ladies Golf Club Distance Chart (Beginner to LPGA)

While there is a lot more data on golf club distances and statistics available for men, it was difficult to find great data for women.

Would be great to get some feedback on your handicap and how it compares to the club distance chart we have below.

Senior Golf Club Distance Chart (Average)

When you reach the age of 60, you are considered a senior member of the golfing community. Around this time is typically when you will notice your driving distance starts to decline and you will need to adjust your game and club selection accordingly.

From people I know, you might expect to see a loss of around 10 yards on your driver every 10 years or so.

Club	Senior’s Average (Yards)	Senior’s Average (meters)
Driver	196	179
3-Wood	173	161
5-Wood	164	150
7-Wood	153	140
Hybrid	160	146
4-Iron	145	133
5-Iron	138	126
6-Iron	130	119
7-Iron	123	112
8-Iron	114	104
9-Iron	105	96
Pitching Wedge	97	89
Sand Wedge	82	75

Bryson DeChambeau Club Distance Chart

During a 13-week quarantine in 2020, Bryson DeChambeau set out on a path that changed his golf forever. He focused on power and speed. Putting on 40 pounds to an already strong body, smashing thousands of balls (often during non-stop 8 hours sessions), performing speed training and optimizing his equipment. The result? Massive speed and massive distance.

He is said to be able to hit his 7 iron 220 yards, which is far further than the majority of normal golfers can hit their drivers!

Bryson DeChambeau is now one of the longest distance players on the PGA Tour and his numbers below show what is possible for truly elite distance players.

Club	Bryson DeChambeau (Yards)
Driver	343
3-Wood	300
5-Wood	290
5-Iron	246
6-Iron	231
7-Iron	220
8-Iron	202

Conclusion

Charts with averages do not provide a complete picture because there are so many other factors to take into consideration; therefore, use them only as a starting point.

What it does is highlight is the significant distinctions that exist between the average golfer and pros.

You’ll have to figure out what your personal average is for your swing and style, as well as with your specific clubs.
