Lam's Golf Links

Frequently Asked Questions

How authentic is the links experience at Lam's Golf Links, compared to courses across the pond?

You'll find Lam's delivers a surprisingly genuine links feel, especially when the wind whips off the coast. The firm, fast fairways and natural bunkering demand a ground game often overlooked on American courses. It's a true test of strategic play, not just power.

When is the absolute best time to visit Lam's Golf Links for ideal playing conditions?

We always recommend late spring or early fall-think May or September-for the most consistent weather. You'll avoid the peak summer heat and humidity, and the winds are usually more manageable, offering a fantastic balance of challenge and enjoyment. Plus, the course is typically in pristine shape then.

What's the biggest challenge golfers face at Lam's, and how should I adjust my game?

Without a doubt, it's the wind and how it dictates your approach shots into those firm greens. You'll need to master the low, running shot and be prepared to take an extra club, sometimes two, to hold the putting surface. Don't fight the wind; learn to use it.

Is the green fee at Lam's Golf Links justified, and what's included in the experience?

Absolutely, Lam's offers exceptional value for a true links-style course in the States. Your green fee covers a walking-only experience-which is how links golf should be played-and access to excellent practice facilities. It's a premium price for a premium, unique round you won't forget.

What's the best way to cap off a round at Lam's, and what local flavors should I try?

You absolutely must grab a pint and a bowl of their famous clam chowder at The Caddie Shack, right in the clubhouse. It's the perfect spot to relive your round, and the views of the 18th green are fantastic, especially at sunset. It's a local institution for a reason.
