Make Time for 9

Unique 9 hole golfing experiences in the Central Counties

Posted by Alistair Orr

 

If you find yourself out and about in the Central Counties and you are looking to try to squeeze in a quick nine before dark or are looking for an unique Saturday afternoon nine and dine experience there is a great collection of 9 hole, executive and par 3 courses spread out across the region from which to choose. Just because these are not 18-hole championship layouts does not mean that a great golfing experience can’t be had.

 

In the collection or 35 courses listed below you will find enjoy some really unique experiences such as courses that are designed by the likes of legendary Canadian golf course architect Stanley Thompson (Orchard Beach) or award winning Doug Carrick (Calerin). If you have a fondness for the grape, head on over to Bowmanville for nine holes at Cider House Golf Course followed by some on site après golf wine tasting at the Archibald Orchards & Estate Winery. During the summer months Whitby’s Eldorado features night golf. Hy-Hope Farm in Ashburn offers an 18-hole executive golf course along with a store and bakery where you can pick up a homemade pie for your post round enjoyment. Some have two distinct sets of tees, such as Erin Heights among others, so if you feel the need to loop around again you can experience a whole different course.

 

Although fading light is the golfers enemy when it comes to a summer evening game or planning one last fall round it is well worth your time and effort to try to squeeze in one of these unique golfing experience before darkness or the snow falls.
