How many clubs would you take to a 9 hole par 3 course and which clubs? would you take a full bag?
distances ranges between 140-230 yards.

I play a course with holes up to 330 and I take a full set and push in a trolley.
I do it for the fun of driving a couple of the holes but that rarely works out!
You can easily play the course hitting no more than 180 for every shot so a 4i is probably the max I really need, maybe a 3h on windy days. That means I could drop 2 clubs and only carry 11 but what is the point when I have the bag on a trolley.
If I was to carry I always take my little Sunday bag, I have played 18s while on holiday in the UK with this as it fits nicely in the car with the camping gear. Its a squeeze getting 9 clubs in a bag meant for 7 but I make it work.

That about lines up, I usually shoot 4-7 over which is pretty much bogey golf and I take and use a full set on a similar length course.

depends on the length of the holes...if you had 9 holes from 120 yds to 200 yards in 10 yards increments then I reckon I'd take 9iron to 6iron, hybrid, 7 wood 3 wood, sand wedge, putter....but hey...might need a driver if the 200yd hole is into the wind!!!!

Not around a 9 hole par 3 it isn't. I shoot level to +3 for 9 at my par 3 but only shoot mid to high 80s on a full course.
230yds is a bit harsh.
Based on the shortest length being 140 I'd leave out 8, 9 and PW. I'd leave the wedges in for chips around the green.
Driver, woods, hybrids would have to stay in.
Some of the above might alter after playing it, you may only need a half set for example, but without knowing it.........

A local club to me has a 9 hole course with 8 par 3s ranging from 95 to 170 yards and a 240 yard par 4. I take a half set of odd/even clubs from 3 hybrid or 4 iron down. So 3h/5/7/9/56º or 4/6/8/pw/56º. I feel either suits the course enough but also gives me enough to think about in terms of being 'in between' clubs.

Why wouldn't anyone take the full 14? OK you may not use them all but they're there if you need them.

A previous club, soon to be a railway, had a smashing little par 3 course.
9 holes ranging from 54 to 95 yards.
All you needed was a putter and a couple of wedges..Great fun for half an hour ( go round twice).
Perfect for lunchtime
Some will need a driver for 230 yards so may well need the whole bag.
Although, as Lord Shortness said, the 8,9 and wedge may be surplus to requirements.

Depending the time of the year I would probably start with a driver or 3wood look at the hole lengths to the back of the greens and carry irons appropriate to the distances + 1 or 2 wedges.
Depends on the length of the other holes. I could probably squeeze a 3 wood out there with a degree of roll in the summer. May be driver in winter. Would need to see a scorecard but 7 iron is my 140 club. I would probably take a full set in a carry bag. Hardly a long walk and think even my delicate back would cope
