Short on time but determined to grab your clubs and get out on the course?

Nine-hole golf is the answer.

Roughly one in every five courses in Scotland is a nine-hole layout and, whilst they are only half the size of conventional tracks, they lack absolutely nothing in terms of enjoyment, attraction and challenge.
