Be first out: R&A 9 Hole Challenge

22 April 2022

The 2022 R&A 9 Hole Challenge Final will take place at The Old Course, St Andrews on Friday 8 July, and your club can be part of the qualifying process.

A recent R&A survey revealed that 60% of golfers would enjoy golf more if it took less time. This led The R&A to run a 9 hole pilot event at Royal Troon in 2016 and has resulted in the annual 9 Hole Challenge. Last year, Matthew Barnes and Chris Houghton of Whittlebury Park Golf Club in South Northamptonshire were elated to have won the Stableford competition with a nett aggregate score of 38 points to be crowned 2021 champions. The 9 Hole Challenge is open to golf clubs throughout GB&I, Australia and New Zealand.
