The scale of the map is 1.5 inches to 60 yards. To find the actual length of the 9th hole, you divide the map length of the hole (9 inches) by the map scale length (1.5 inches) to find out how many times the scale fits into the actual length. This gives you 9 / 1.5 = 6. Then, multiply this number by the scale's yardage to get the actual length: 6 * 60 yards = 360 yards.
