you;re good to go. there's only so much one can learn from lessons or at the range. you can be the best range player in the world and suck donkey nuts when you hit the links. since you're score for the 9 hole is fairly decent, strike out and play the main course. I assume you have someplace in mind so there;s no time like the present you know. on the links you'll get the full array of shots and situation whereas on the range or even just playing 9 holes you are limited in the situations you face. the more chances you have to deal with the different lies, terrains, etc, the more apt you'll be able to handle them as well. So I suggest you round up some buddies and head out. expect to do well but at the same time don't expect to get the course record either. just play natural and have fun. the rest will come to you

If your going round a par 3 nine hole course in 7 over par, then you are more than ready for a full course i would say. Although of course this depends on how confident you are feeling about your long irons and woods. But I dont think you need to be told by anyone when you are ready. Just try to go at a quiet time and enjoy yourself, and if ur doing bad and holding people up then just let them play through!

Get out there and give it a go.
BUT DO TRY AND FIND A MORE EXPERIENCED GOLFER TO TAKE YOU ROUND. Etiquette is very important on a full course, and this is something easier learnt from someone who knows, and contrary to another answer don't pick up after 8 strokes some longer par 5 holes may well take more strokes to start with.
MOST IMPORTANT is to show consideration to other golfers.

Do it now. Play 9 holes at a time when the course is not busy. Based on how well you do, move up to 18 holes. It will be tiring.
Make sure that you do not hold players up behind you and that you know course etiquette before you tee off.

The easiest way to learn golf like a pro is by following "The Simple Golf Swing" program. It's primarily a 31 page eBook that teaches golfers how to make solid contact with the ball, how to avoid hitting fat, how to avoid slicing, how get more power, accuracy, and consistency in your swing. Consistency being the number 1 golf skill.
You not only get the eBook though, you also receive a ton of extra material including video, lessons on putting, driving, chipping, sand play etc. Here is their official site: http://www.golfswingguru.net

I took up golf around 18 months ago and didn't go to a driving lesson for several months. I've never had a lesson. I find most public courses have no problem with beginners playing provided you are suitably dressed, understand the rules (particularly etiquette) and have your own clubs. It sounds to me like you are more than ready.

If you are counting all your shots and playing by the rules you are ready for a regular golf course. Players who can break 100 on a regular course have nothing to restrict them from playing most golf courses. Before playing on a regular course you should also be fully familiar with golf etiquette. Including speed of play, raking sand traps, replacing divot, repairing ball marks on the green, allowing faster players to play through, order of play etc., etc. If you are not familiar with the etiquette of golf, be sure you play with players who are and ask them to help you.

As long as you are happy with how you are hitting the ball on the range give the main course a go. If still not sure ask your local pro.
