Hole-in-one (amateur)

Odds

1 in 12,500

per round (amateur) · General (amateur golf)

What this means

For a typical amateur round, a hole-in-one is rare but not lottery-rare — and more likely than a royal flush in a single 5-card poker hand.

Widely cited amateur hole-in-one odds around 1 in 12,500 per round. Pros are closer to 1 in 2,500. Skill, course, and hole selection matter a lot.
