Maldon Golf Club in Essex is more than worth a look as is Braxted Park also in Essex, only a few miles from Maldon in fact.

Without doubt it would be Traigh in the West Highlands. Not because it's a brilliant layout or in fantastic condition but simply for the location overlooking a sandy bay, blue sea and views across to Rum, Eigg and the Cuillin mountains on Skye. Get it on a nice day and I can't think of a better place to play golf.

Haven't played Traigh but I have been there and it is indeed beautiful.
Another one in the same vein is Isle of Harris - stunning location.

Played Burley over 25 years ago......
.....but absolutely loved it! Green fee was put in an envelope and posted in an honesty box - absolutely brilliant!
Best 9-hole course I have played is Reigate Heath - absolutely stunning in spring and autumn. 18 different tee boxes so each hole plays very different, particularly the 1st and 10th.

Southport Old Links.. Very fast draining sandy soil, with 18 tees and just enough variety to make it feel like 18 holes.. Nice finishing hole as well...

Scotland is blessed with some stunning 9-holers,
In addition to the 2 mentioned already I'd add
Tobermory GC on Mull
Gairloch GC
Shiskene GC on Arran ( ok it's 12 holes but who is counting)
as fabulous places to spend a few hours.

Funnily enough I know a guy who visits up near Lochcarron (another great looking course btw though I've not played it) each summer and played in the Harris Open for many years. He really raves about it and I recommended Traigh which he played last year and said "I wasn't that impressed to be honest".....each to their own!! The Isle of Skye at Sconser is a good one as well.

Is Hartley Whitney (MikeH's club) still a 9 holer? Never played it but driven past so many times, looks really nice from the road.
Curry house across the road is excellent too

Lochcarron is in a great location but has often been VERY soggy when I've played it. Nice friendly club though. Sconser on Skye is much more consistently playable in my experience. Never played Traigh either even though I've been there many, many times - stunning place.

Stayed in Lochcarron on holiday this summer and although I didn't take my clubs the course looked nice enough if indeed a little wet underfoot.
The midges however would have put me off playing, the place was heaving with them!

Indeed, the one time you're wanting the wind to blow on a golf course!

As already said, The Wee Course at Blairgowrie, designed by Alistair McKenzie of Augusta National and Cypress Point fame. But the most fun was playing 9 hole floodlit golf in Florida.

Brighton and Hove, 9 greens, 18 tees. Two laps using different tees for front and back. 6th hole is 150 yard par 3, with 150 drop from tee to green. With the course built on chalk it drains very, very well and is at its best in the autumn when other courses are closed/waterlogged.

Best over ever played is Skukuza in the Kruger National Park. Purely because of the surroundings and the animal encounters.
