A lot of golfers feel like they have to play a full round of 18 holes each time they play. This is fine if you can devote 4-5 hours of your day to the lovely game of golf. For those of us who are sometimes a bit short on time, or just getting used to playing, it might be best to try our luck at a 9-Hole course instead.
A 9-Hole course can be played in under half the time it takes to play at a regular course. Most of the holes are typically of the Par 3 and Par 4 variety with short yardage. And on weekends they usually aren’t very busy which makes things move along even faster.
For newer golfers, playing a full round can lead to frustration and anger pretty easily. You can sometimes get more fun and enjoyment at a 9-Hole course instead. The longer you’re out on the course the greater chance you have of getting worn down by mistakes and mental errors. It’s easier to “get in and get out” at a 9-Hole course before that kind of fatigue sets in.
