Are these distances okay for a beginner? I’ve only played golf about 3 times and I’m trying to see if these distances from the driving range sound about right
Distance will come. Work on fundamentals and swing.

The real question is how far you hit your putter

Play only your Driver, 2 hybrid, 7i, PW, 56, Putter for the next 180 holes, then go for a lesson.
Believe me- your 2027 swing mechanics will thank you.

Yes – those sound like good realistic beginner distances. Just keep in mind that as a beginner you’ll increase quickly and need to keep adjusting.

It’s not about how far you can hit the ball, but more so having the right club for the right distance.
Yours are all over the place. There’s should be consistent distance gaps between each 5-10 yards. I.e you shouldn’t be hitting your 6i farther than your 5i. I recommend some lessons.

Those look like distances you can expect from someone who has only played 3 times. I wouldnt stress about distances before you have 100 rounds and 100h of practise behind you. Of course its good to know how far you can hit the ball with each club when you hit it decently well to be able to play courses. Get few lessons to save a lot of time.
