I play on a short 9 hole course with these distances per hole:  150, 135, 395, 175, 350, 248, 220, 198, 320.  Being that my best drives are about 230 and I average more like 210, this course really fits me as I can reach all the holes in regulation.  It's fun to play there for me.

wow that is short!, my go-to course is a 3009 (soon to be 3100) yard, par 35 9 hole course with a 554 yard Par 5 uphill!

Yeah, but that his is probably a par 30 or 31 executive, depending on whether they call the 248 a par 3 or 4. Yours is a full-length 9.

Yes it should be a 30 or 31, but they call it a 32 (the 220 is a par 4!!).  It's USGA rating is 30.5/94.

Curious; which course is this?

I lived 19 years in SD and I think I know where you're talking about.

Guess #1 - Mission Bay

Guess #2 - Steel Canyon

Guess #3 - Sail Ho (Pt. Loma) - if they adjusted the layout since 2009.

Gambling is illegal at Bushwood sir, and I never slice.

Balboa Park Golf Course - 9 hole

They have an 18 hole course too.

!! indeed. Par 4s shouldn't be driveable with a 5 wood, haha.

There is one like that at another (bit longer) 9 holer near me. It's listed at Par 4, 240 yards, but with some tee placements, it plays like 215 and it's about 10 yards downhill. I once hit two balls onto the green with 3 wood (before I found learned better distance) and birdied both on two putts. Haven't played there since; gotta leave on a high note!

Of course.

I thought more about this and realized Sail Ho was wrong, and those other two actually had 18 holes. Balboa, both tracks were always nice.

    • I had a few tweeks in the bag. I took out my Mizuno pro FliHi 3 iron replaced it with a Titleist GT2 7 Wood. what a change that is, so easy to hit, it goes so high without it ballooning on me. I couldn't get rid of my callaway woods ( Rogue ST Max LS ) but changed the shafts to Diamana BB 63 stiff for the driver and 73 stiff for the 3 wood. Than i got myself a new putter Odyssey S2S jailbird yes i joined the centershaft family
    • First off all i think you should use the same ball all the time. We all strive for consistency on the course, the only factor you can be sure it will be always the same is your ball if you always use the same. So i think we should always use the same. I recently switched from Titleist Pro V1x to Srixon Z-Star Diamond because it i get a bit softer feel around the greens and same results on driver and irons
