The standard unit for measuring road distances and geographic distances in most countries. ### Yard (yd) An imperial unit of length equal to 3 feet or 0.9144 meters. Used in American football, golf, and fabric measurement. ## Background A kilometer is about 1,094 yards. A 100-yard football field is about 0.0914 km (91.44 m). A 400-yard golf par 4 is about 0.366 km. When GPS shows distance in km but a golfer thinks in yards, this conversion bridges the gap. ## Good to Know Golf courses worldwide are measured in yards, even in metric countries. A 6,500-yard course is about 5.94 km. GPS rangefinders show distance in either unit, but caddies think in yards and groundskeepers plan in meters. The km-to-yard conversion lives on every fairway. ## FAQ ### How many yards is 1 km? One kilometer equals approximately 1,093.61 yards.
