Short 9 hole course/par 3 near a uk holiday destination.

[MartynB]

So, with Florida golf postponed until next year, I’m hoping to book somewhere in the uk at the end of August. It would be an amazing coincidence ? if we just happened to book near a nice short 9 hole course.

Grateful for any recommendations, for those that know the fantastic little course at Elveden forest Center Parcs that’s just perfect, takes about an hour to play so family friendly.

Rudding Park near Harrogate has a smashing par 3 course. https://www.ruddingpark.co.uk/golf/courses/

North Yorkshire has lots to offer, you could easily get away with that as place to have a week ?

You could look at Nailcote Hall which has it's own par 3, home to the British Par 3 champs. Having played it, it's a real toughie

We've been to Pitlochry and played nearby at Strathtay Golf Club. 9 holes, brilliant, and perfect for my 7 year old who loved it and could manage it given it's short and friendly! Pitlochry (18 holes) is fantastic too - it'd be rude not to nip out there early one morning too if you stayed in the area!!

Filey GC has a separate 9 hole course which is decent. 6 par 3s and 3 short par 4s. I think it's something like £25 for a week's season ticket.

There is another 9 holer just up the road at Hunmanby Hall. It's a bit rough and ready but good fun to play.

The Famous Nine in Cornwall is family friendly fun..... fishing pond and accommodation on site..
Close to decent beaches too. Full 18 holes at Tehidy within a mile too

No help to your question at all, but Elveden Forest was the first golf course I ever played (not counting the old Bunny Park pitch and putt in Ealing). Lost my credit card there too, no idea how.

Back in 1993 it seemed, well, like golf. Just looked up the scorecard and can't believe how short it is. Back then I barely got my ball in the air but loved it all the same.

Edited to add – when I say "short" I'm not criticising. I love a good par 3 course. Just that at the time, it seemed like a huge distance from tee to hole. Nowadays not so much.

There is an excellent 18 hole par three course at Ramsdale Park just north of Nottingham.
