I play on the same course quite a bit so to mix it up lately I’m going out with only 7 clubs. I have to hit different shots that way, which is fun, plus the bag is lighter.

Course is 9 holes. 2 par 3s, 4 par 4s under 325y, one 480y par 5.

I chose:

Driver
5i
7i
9i
50 degree
54 degree
Putter
 
I would go with:

Driver
3 Hybrid
5 iron
7 iron
9 iron
55 degree wedge
Putter
 
3wood
4h
6i
8i
PW
SW 56
Putter
 
I have played a few 6 club rounds recently and went:

3 wood
4 hybrid
7 iron
PW
58° Wedge
Putter

For the 7th club I would probably substitute a 9 iron and GW for the PW, especially considering your 4 par 4's under 325. A lot would depend on the length of the par 3's also.
 
3+W
4i, 6i, 8i
PW, SW
putter
 
I would go:

driver
UT
8i
48*
54*
Putter
 
driver
putter
+
(5i, 7i, 9i, 50*, 60*)
or
(4i, 6i, 8i, PW, 55*)

depending on how much I want my 60*
 
Without knowing the length of the par 3's and the shape of the rest, I'd choose

Driver
4-iron
8-iron
PW
56*
60*
Putter

If the par 3's are less than 160 I'd drop the 8 and PW in favor of 9 and GW.
 
4W
4H
6-iron
8-iron
PW
LW
Putter

Kills me to pull driver but I'd likely only use it for the par-5.

Driver, 4H, 6i, 8i, PW, 58, Putter.
 
If I was playing my home course, I would go with

Putter
54
9i
7i
5i
2i
Driver

With those clubs I can cover each of the par 3's, the tee shots on the par 4 holes with doglegs and it still gives me the chance to go for a couple of the par 5 greens with my second shot

That's all I need.

It would depend on the length of the par 3’s but if 4 of the par 4’s are less than 325 it would be something like 3 wood, putter, LW, SW, PW, 8 and 6 iron.
 
Hmm.
