Finally, nine-hole golf courses are getting their due! The goals of
this colorful, practical book is to recognize and celebrate the US
and Canadian courses that have been overlooked for too long by
golfers and so-called golf experts. Over the past few years,
perhaps due to an increase in work and family commitments, there
has been a noticeable rise in the number of golfers interested in
playing nine-hole courses. Although there are close to eight
thousand such courses worldwide, how do golfers determine which are
the best ones to play? In The Finest Nines, golf writer and
historian Anthony Pioppi highlights the twenty-five finest
nine-hole courses in North America and details how to play each
one. Some of the courses featured include: Whitinsville Golf Club,
Whitinsville, Massachusetts Sweetens Cove Golf Club, South

many more! This book also includes an interview with course
designer and architect Mike Nuzzo about designing a nine-hole golf
course in the modern era as well as profiles of courses that have a
non-traditional number of holes. The Finest Nines is the perfect
gift for the avid golfer who does not have the time to play a full
eighteen holes!
