Sports / Fitness / Recreation / Golf | | English term or phrase: drivable / driveable | Is there a German term for a "drivable hole"?
I am fairly certain that it means that the green of a relatively short par four hole can be reached with the initial drive provided it is sufficiently powerful. |

and your understanding is correct.
"vom Tee erreichbar" wäre noch eine Möglichkeit.
there may be a better way of putting it in German though

you could leave out any reference to the "Grün" or "Bahn"
e.g. das 13. Loch, Par 4, ist mit dem Abschlag erreichbar.

Asker: This sounds good, but it makes for rather long sentences, as something like "hole 13 is a drivable par 4" would have to become something like "Bahn 13 ist eine kurze Par-4-Bahn, deren Grün mit dem Abschlag erreichbar ist" or "Auf der kurzen Par-4-Bahn 13 ist das Grün mit dem Abschlag erreichbar". Is there nothing more concise?
