The Links

Frequently Asked Questions

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

We've found late spring or early fall offers the sweet spot at The Links, typically from late April through May or September into early October. You'll dodge the peak summer crowds and the brutal winter winds, enjoying more consistent temperatures and playable conditions that truly showcase the course.

Is the green fee at The Links truly worth the splurge, and what should I expect?

Yes, it's a premium experience, but we think it's absolutely worth it for a bucket-list round on a genuine links-style course in the US. You're paying for immaculate conditions, a truly unique layout that challenges every club in your bag, and service that makes you feel like a pro for the day.

How challenging is The Links for an average golfer, especially with the coastal winds?

Don't underestimate The Links-it's a proper test, especially when the coastal breeze picks up, which it often does. We recommend practicing your low punch shots and embracing the ground game; trying to fly everything will lead to a frustrating day and a lot of lost balls.

What's the one 'must-see' hole or unique feature at The Links that sets it apart?

The par-3 17th, often called 'The Lighthouse' hole, is truly unforgettable, demanding a precise shot over a dramatic ocean inlet to a well-guarded green. Beyond that, the natural, rugged fescue rough and deep, penal pot bunkers are hallmarks you won't find just anywhere in the States.

What's the best strategy for securing a tee time at The Links, especially for a prime slot?

Booking well in advance is non-negotiable if you want a specific time, especially on weekends-think 3-6 months out for peak season. We also suggest calling directly rather than relying solely on online portals; sometimes they can work magic for last-minute cancellations or offer insights into less busy times.
