It is such a simple question, it just any course by the sea?
During golf's earliest days, it was only links. Golf didn’t move inland for centuries, and even then, the best examples in Britain are on sites that have similar characteristics to links courses.
The classical definition is straightforward: Sandy ground that ‘links’ the agricultural land to the sea. On the face of it, this definition would comfortably satisfy the vast majority of the links courses out there.
However, are there other ways of classifying what a links golf course is? Author Sam Cooper and NCG Top 100s chairman Dan Murphy explore he characteristics that classify a links golf course.
This 18-volume series Links from the Road covers every links course in Great Britain. Volumes 1 & 2 are now available to purchase from www.linksfromtheroad.com with subscription offers also available.
