The official distance between cornhole boards is 27 feet from front edge to front edge. This is the standard measurement used in adult play and tournament settings to ensure fairness and consistency
. For younger players, seniors, or those with physical impairments, the distance is often shortened to between 12 and 15 feet to make the game more accessible and enjoyable
. Additionally, the full cornhole court length (measured between the back edges of the boards) is typically about 35 feet, with the width of the court being 8 feet
. In summary:
- Adult regulation distance: 27 feet (front edge to front edge of boards)
- Junior/accessible distance: 12 to 15 feet
- Court dimensions: Approximately 8 feet wide by 35-40 feet long
This setup allows for appropriate pitching distance and space for players to stand and throw from designated pitcher's boxes beside each board
