Links Courses

[Wayman]

You really need to get over the golf coast (Merseyside) fella :thup:, a big gap in your CV.

I know I really want to go over that way golfing I know a member at Wallasey as well

I've played scotscraig and wouldn't put it as a links course

 

[AMcC]

Have played quite a few links courses over the years, staying on the west coast of Scotland helps. Starting with Bogside in Irvine all the way down through Troon and Pretwick to Turnberry.

My favourite links course is still Ailsa Turnberry.

[Tommo21]

Love links golf golf but haven't played much

Princes
Royal St Georges
St Andrews New
St Andrews Jubilee
Saunton East
Hunstantion

Enjoyed them all but Saunton and Hunstanton stand out as being the most enjoyable. RSG was a test of golf on a different level.




Just made me think, with all us parkland players who really want to play more links golf, and experience the dunes, the hard running fairways and the salty tang of the sea air, are there links players who yearn for majestic trees, lush fairways, and soft greens?

I'm a member at Royal Musselburgh as well............I get the best of both worlds.

 

[Val]

No it's not...

That's a bite, surprised at you Jezz

I know you still have new club love but (never having played there) it must be special indeed.

I've played quite a few now and, so far, nothing beats muirfield and turnberry ailsa....

That's a nibble

Disagree!

Not by a long shot! Though some rather good holes.

Best in Wallesey! :thup:

Big bite that one

Many will know why I posted as I did :thup:

I've played plenty but not as many as some, best for me are Muirfield, Western Gailes and Machrihanish.

And wrong too - where's Wallesey?

Some of the (country) members may 'leave a bit to be desired' apparently! :whoo:

@Fairway Dodger. I don't classify Longniddry as a links course - nor Archerfield (Fidra). Both really good/great courses though.
