What exactly is a links course in golf?

Generally, yes! Players often score higher on parkland courses due to their forgiving nature. Links courses often require more strategic thinking and adaptability.

That makes sense! But it must be more entertaining to play on a links course, right?

Oh, for sure! There’s something about the unpredictability and challenge of links courses that keeps things lively. Plus, the scenery is usually stunning.

I would echo that! But what about accessibility? Are links courses open to all skill levels?

Many links courses aim to be accessible, but the rugged nature might be tough for beginners. Some adaptations can be made, though, to accommodate all skill levels.

I find it a bit contentious when courses claim they’re all-inclusive but then present these challenges! Thoughts?

That’s a fair point! Sometimes marketing can overstate accessibility. A good balance is key for both challenge and enjoyment.
