What’s your favourite course to play on

[Arthur Wedge]

Pretty simple

What is your favourite type of course to play on

For me I love playing a links course

But I would prefer to be a member at a heathland course

 

[SatchFan]

An empty one.

 

[Burnsey]

Hate links.

 

[Orikoru]

Got to be honest, apart from links, I still don't understand the difference between any of the others.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Not enough exposure to links in recent years so went for heathland

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Is there much difference between heathland and moorland? Not being sarky, I couldn't really split them in my mind.

I went heathland, perhaps I meant moorland , but I know that links is absolutely bottom of the pile

Moorland courses are generally similar style land to a heathland but higher up if that makes sense

You see more of them on hillsides etcs

I play mostly on parkland but my vote goes for heathland

Where's the inland links option?

Encapsulated under "links" since they're one and the same.

I like links golf but there is far to much luck involved good and bad bounces can turn a good shot into a disaster.

Went for Parkland it’s what I’m used to.

This is what makes links so good. You get a bad bounce and you need to think about the next shot, or have to manufacture a recovery. Makes that up and down even more rewarding.

Golf isn't meant to be easy after all

With the luck I get ( lack of )

I prefer my ball to go where I hit it.

In the same place as black socks with shorts - banned

I love the challenge just don't play it often enough to get good at it. A very different beast to a parkland or even heathland course

Heathland for suuuure. I just don't really get on with Links golf due to a high ball flight. They are visually appealing, but I'd rather play a Heathland course every day of the week

Give me Sunny Old or Hankley Common over The Belfry.

Aside from the obvious differences, I think the greens / green complexes of good links courses that really stand out. With lots of run-offs, they seem harder / more interesting than the greens of other types of courses, even than some renowned heathlands
