Question Par for the course

I'd like to know how to say "par for the course" in Spanish.

Literally:

par – the standard number of strokes for a hole or for a course in golf.
course – golf course.

Figuratively:

par for the course – this is used in a negative manner to indicate that poor/inferior quality/performance etc is to be expected in a certain situation.
not up to par – someone or something has not reached an acceptable/normal/standard level of performance or quality.


So... any ideas on how to express these ideas in Spanish?
