9-Hole Golf: States With Most Facilities, Highest Proportion
Iowa has far and away the most 9-hole golf facilities in the nation, more than well-supplied states like Texas, New York and California. Florida, by the way, isn't even in the Top 10 when it comes to 9-hole facilities, but has a wealth of 9-hole courses spread across its many facilities. Only seven states in total have more 9-hole facilities than 18 holers, most of which are rural and more sparsely-populated.
