No it's not. If the scoring average on the par five is 4.3 then a player has to make a four to keep up with the field. On the other hand that same player can make a four on the par three that averages 3.8 and not lose any ground. It's not which hole is easier to make a birdie on, it which hole is it easier to make a four on.
