A nine hole round takes roughly two hours walking and closer to ninety minutes with a cart. That makes these the courses to know about when you want to play after work, when you are teaching someone the game, or when eighteen is more golf than the day allows. Several of them are full length par 35 or 36 layouts rather than short executive tracks, so the golf is real. Others are genuinely short and forgiving, which is exactly what you want if you are getting a junior started. Call ahead on summer evenings, because nine hole courses close to the city fill up fast once leagues finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to play 9 holes?

Around two hours walking, or about ninety minutes riding. Pace depends heavily on how busy the course is, and weekday mornings are usually the fastest.

Are 9-hole courses cheaper than 18-hole courses?

Usually, yes. Most charge roughly half to two thirds of an eighteen hole green fee, and many let you go around twice for a discounted rate if you want the full round.

Can I play 9 holes at an 18-hole course instead?

Most public eighteen hole courses near Pittsburgh sell a nine hole rate, though some restrict it to afternoons or to walk-on times when the tee sheet is open. It is worth calling the pro shop rather than assuming.
