Welcome along. A doozy of a first question that's going to open a whole can of worms!! Personally while I enjoy the challenge links golf provides, I am a member of a parkland course (no sea in Berkshire). Given a choice at all I'd play a heathland course

Parkland for me, although we have a forum meet at Royal St Georges next week and links really doesn't get much better. I prefer heathland to both though!

Welcome to the forum !

Nice opening post, this one should kick off pretty quickly :thup:


Try dress code for your next thread :rofl:

Both are great types of golf courses that can offer two different types of golf

It's a debate where I don't think there will ever be a right answer and it will always be down to your own personal taste - I know some that hate links but love parkland and vice versa

But then there is the wonder that is Heathland courses

Welcome. My home course is a parkland but prefer links. If I had the choice, links would be my preference. Also place heathland over parkland.

Parkland for me

Parkland for me too, trees are beautiful :thup:

Ours is a heathland course. Nice compromise.

I'll throw this out there, anyone who prefers parkland to links needs to play more links.

I'm away for my snack now

Possibly but for many, the options are limited. As I said I enjoy the challenge when I do get an opportunity but my real love is heathland. I'm sure if I was living near a links course and played it in all conditions I'd love it but I don't and so I can't rate it higher than heathland or parkland which I'm use to

I started out on links and have played quite a few, was a member of one course for 5 yrs or so. Parkland all the way for me now. I prefer the aesthetics of a parkland course, the walk is prettier, and I got fed up of fighting the wind and bad bounces. It would have to be a special course to get me back on a links again.

The more that love links the better though.it keeps all of those lovely parkland courses emptier for me😁

The Best of Parkland V The Best of Links = No Contest, Links without a doubt.

Average Parkland Course V Average Links Course =Slightly Tougher Call.
