Another good piece but you need to play some nine hole courses in Scotland which you will enjoy

The Wee Course at Rosemount and St Medans are a good start

Wonderful, thank you Robin. I need a bigger bucket for this list, I think. But grateful for these two!

I’ll Google Flempton now

John, you’ll love it. Such a nice, gentle vibe. But far from easy!

Sounds lovely! What I like about 9 holes is the chance to see it again with fresh eyes. Hickories forever ⛳️

Some more Scottish ones to add to the “bigger bucket list” 😉 Abernethy GC, near Nethybridge & Grantown on Spey is a lovely 9 hole course as is Portmahomack close to Tain and Gairloch on the west coast and of course Covesea just out of Lossiemouth.

Interesting….and will one day be a new course for me too. Surprising perhaps as I grew up nearby, in Newmarket and then Sudbury, with my introduction to golf (aged 6) at another, less remarkable, 9 holer (now 18) at Newton Green, alongside the A134. Indeed, the medal tee on the 9th used to be across that main road…unthinkable today! A bit later I caddied for my father in matches at several of the courses in the region, but I’ve no recollection at all of Flempton.
