Favorite Par 3 Length?

Not sure I have a preference, but I would probably say anything around the 150yd mark if I had to put a figure on it
 
No preference here up to 160, but I don't like the extra long Par 3s that run 175+. Once it gets over 160 length is not bad, but my aim usually becomes an issue.
 
145 - smooth 9, jump on a PW, or knock down an 8. I feel like I have some choices depending on conditions.
 
Anything between 140 yards and 170 yards is pretty good for me. When I get over about 190 yards, I'm hit and miss as I'm not a very long hitter.
 
Less than 220. I kinda like them in the 170 yard range, to be honest.

My biggest hangup is when I play 4 par 3s and they all require the same club. Just feels like lazy course design.
 
I really enjoy the 170-185 realm
 
Anywhere in the 9 - 7 iron range (145 - 175).
 
150 or so is good. Easy 6 iron which is my best club.
 
190-200 yards . I use to dread them but now I look forward to it
 
Put me at the 145 range and I'm quite happy.
 
7 or 8 iron distance, 130-150 yds. Any distance less seems too short. A ho1 sounds much better from a longer distance from 100 yds. jmo
 
Not sure I really have a preference as I just enjoy seeing different golf holes with different lengths. Purely from a scoring standpoint I would go with 135. That is a stock PW and feel super confident I can get it "close".
 
Club wise, I really like my 8 iron (so 150-160 ish as I'm still learning distances with the new irons).

but for hole enjoyment? give me a par three that is 85-130 yards all day with bunkering elevation change and tiered or rolling greens.
 
145-160 range
 
I didn't have many birdies on par 3's over the last year, but I did get one on a 208 par 3, lol. It took a great 4w for me to about 4 ft below the hole. I surely don't think 200+ yds par 3's are my choice though. I can't reach a green 200 yds away with an iron. Any longer than the 210 and I would be punching a driver into the green.
 
Anything over 175-180 is just silly for 95% of golfers.
 
I hit my 6 and 7-iron a lot on the range and I like a par-3 from 165-180 that puts one of those in my hand.
 
150-155 would be the smart answer; that's a good 8i distance for me. But I like the shorter par 3s better, say, under 130.
