A male golfer should typically be able to drive the ball at least 220 yards, but in recent years with the advancement in driver technology, some professional players have been able to hit over 300 yards.

Professional golfers hit the driver over 275 yards consistently. A good golfer ( handicap less than 10 ) should be able to hit a drive 240 - 250 yards consistently.

I would say somewhere from 200-300 yards is the driving distance for someone who is good at golf. Professionals however average above 300 yards a drive.

I went to the local driving range for the first time the other day, after a few horrible attemps, I got into a rhythm and my farthest hit (on the fly) was at least 270m. First ever time hitting a golf ball. I am 16 years old.
