Lynx courses along the south east coast.

[Oddsocks]

Keep seeing pics of lynx courses and I'm trying to Krio the lads into a bit of lynx golf. Are there any courses along the Kent, Sussex or Hampshire coast that you guys would suggest.

I know as a rule they like to pay green fees capped at 40-50, but the problem lies with the daft we can only play weekends.

Any suggestions

the Links effect !!

There are only a handful of proper links in the south east (did we ever work out a proper definition) , most are pretty pricey


Kent
Royal St Georges about £160 in the summer
Royal Cinque Ports is about £120
Princes about £90
Littlestone about £60

Sussex
Rye (good luck getting on) about £100

Hampshire
Hayling Island about £60-70

(have I left any off)

all will give the proper links experience, deep rough, fast fairways in the summer, pot bunker, wind etc

a few in Devon and Cornwall that are worth a visit if you fancy a trip.


for the price I don't think you can go far wrong with Littlestone or Hayling Island

Watch out if you're playing with Tiger, he's a bit of a Cheetah.

Seemingly this is the Lynx effect...

Cheers guys, I'm sure when I was younger I caddied for a guy at sandwich or deal, that was a nice course too.

I'll have a chat with the lads, the other option is a road trip

Hayling in Hampshire for me is great. Plus if you have a compatible county card you get a great day rate deal.

The bottom one for sure, but the top one does look nice

Littlestone and Royal Cinque Ports (Deal) would be my favourites OS. I havn't played Royal St Georges and i Know Princes have spent a lot of money on the course so should be worth a look at

Probably not 'true' links course but cheap (they do 241), friendly, nice food and the course isn't bad.

If you want a special day, then go to Kent and pick from Deal, Littlestone, Princes or St Georges if you are feeling flush.

or sand wedge

Littlehampton is a nice course but not quite a full blown links course. The front 9 is more links-like and the back 9 is more parkland-like.

Southern Valley plays like a links, £25 a round.

Not sure about Hayling Island. We can play there for £15 on some sort of courtesy, but members that did last year were not impressed with its condition. I played the year before when it was not bad, but must admit it is not up there with Saunton in Devon, which has two fantastic links courses. Not the greatest links course, and if you have never played one not sure it will encourage you to play another. Just my opinion.

or at least when they built it, they forgot to plant any trees!
