Short on time

Not every day has room for eighteen holes. A nine-hole loop takes around two hours, a par-3 course less, and an executive course (mostly par 3s and short par 4s) gives you every club in the bag in half the time. They suit a first round, an early start before a family day, or the last light of a long evening.

Many of the clubs below sit beside a full championship course, so you can see the big course and play the short one. Where a club gives the holes, par or length, the course page has it.
