Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to experience Links Golf Club, and what kind of weather should I prepare for?

We've found late spring to early autumn (May-September) offers the most consistent conditions, with longer daylight hours and generally less rain. However, this is a true links course in England, so expect the wind to be a constant companion, even on sunny days-it's part of the challenge and the fun. Pack layers and waterproofs, regardless of the forecast.

How challenging is Links Golf Club for an average golfer, and what are its unique difficulties?

This course demands respect, even for experienced players. You'll quickly discover the deep pot bunkers are more than just hazards-they're genuine traps that can cost you strokes, so avoid them at all costs. The firm, fast-running fairways and the ever-present wind mean shot selection and control are paramount; don't expect many easy pars here.

Should I hire a caddie or take a buggy at Links Golf Club, and how walkable is the course?

We strongly recommend walking this course; it's the only way to truly appreciate the subtle undulations and strategic lines. While buggies are available, a caddie is your best investment here, offering invaluable local knowledge on wind direction, hidden contours, and the best approaches to those tricky greens. You'll thank us when your score reflects their guidance.

What should I expect regarding green fees and booking a tee time at Links Golf Club?

Green fees here are on par with other top-tier links experiences in England, reflecting the course's quality and heritage. We advise booking well in advance, especially for weekend play during peak season, as tee times fill up quickly. While it's an investment, the unique challenge and memorable experience make it absolutely worth every penny.
