Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play The Links for ideal conditions?

We've found late spring through early fall offers the most consistent weather, but be prepared for the ever-present coastal winds that define this course. If you want to experience the true links challenge, an autumn round with a brisk breeze is unforgettable.

How challenging is The Links for a mid-handicapper, and what should I prepare for?

The Links will test your short game and your patience, especially around the deep pot bunkers and firm, fast greens. We recommend practicing your bump-and-run shots extensively before your visit; aerial approaches often don't pay off here.

Is walking mandatory at The Links, and do you recommend taking a caddie?

While not strictly mandatory, we strongly encourage walking to fully appreciate the course's natural contours and the strategic lines. A caddie is invaluable here - their local knowledge of the subtle breaks and wind patterns will save you strokes and enhance your experience.

What's the best way to secure a tee time at The Links, and what should I expect regarding green fees?

Booking well in advance, especially for peak season, is crucial; tee times fill up quickly. Expect premium green fees, as this course delivers a world-class links experience that justifies the investment.

Are there any specific holes or features at The Links that truly stand out?

The par-3 7th, with its dramatic ocean backdrop and challenging crosswinds, is a true stunner and a great photo op. Also, pay close attention to the deceptive contours on the 14th green-it's a real card-wrecker if you're not careful.
