- A links is the oldest style of golf course, first developed in Scotland. The word "links" comes from the Scots language and refers to an area of coastal sand dunes and sometimes to open parkland. It also retains this more general meaning in the Scottish English dialect. It can be treated as singular even though it has an "s" at the end and occurs in place names that precede the development of golf, for example Lundin Links, Fife. Many links - though not all - are located in coastal areas, on sandy soil, often amid dunes, with few water hazards and few if any trees. This reflects both the nature of the scenery where the sport happened to originate, and the fact that only limited resources were available to golf course architects at the time, and any earth moving had to be done by hand, so it was kept to a minimum. At Bruntsfield Links in Edinburgh, Scotland, the course (a considerable distance from the coast) is still used for pitch and putt golf, and boasts a sign erected by the City Council which asserts that golf may have been invented there. The challenges of links golf fall into two categories. Firstly the nature of the courses themselves, which tend to be characterised by uneven fairways, thick rough and small deep bunkers known as "pot bunkers". Secondly, due to their coastal location many links courses are frequently windy. This affects the style of play required, favouring players who are able to play low accurate shots. As many links courses consist literally of an "outward" nine in one direction along the coast, and an "inward" nine which returns in the opposite direction, players often have to cope with opposite wind patterns in each half of their round. Links courses remain most common in Ireland and also in Great Britain, especially in Scotland. The Open Championship is always played on links courses and this is one of the main things which differentiates it from the three major championships held in the United States. Links courses tend to be on, or at least very near to, a coast, and the term is typically associated with coastal courses. However, links conditions can be duplicated on suitable ground, even hundreds of miles or kilometres inland. One especially notable example of an inland links-style course is Sand Hills Golf Club, a much-acclaimed early-2000s layout in the Sand Hills of Nebraska.
- Mit dem Begriff Links oder Links-Platz wird eine besondere Art von Golfplatz bezeichnet, die den ursprünglichen Plätzen in Großbritannien nachempfunden ist, auf denen der Golfsport auch begonnen hat.
- Een golfbaan wordt soms beschreven als een linksbaan, waarmee bedoeld wordt dat de golfbaan aan zee ligt en dat de wind een dominante factor is. Omdat de baan aan de zeewind is blootgesteld, heeft de wind niet alleen invloed op het golfspel, maar omschrijft het ook ten dele de begroeiing van de baan, vooral in Nederland en Schotland, waar alle links in een duingebied liggen. De beste voorbeelden hiervan zijn de Domburgse- en Noordwijkse Golfclub. De banen van de Haagsche - en Kennemer Golf liggen iets verder van zee en zijn veel groener. Ander soort golfbanen worden beschreven als bosbaan, polderbaan of parkbaan. In het Engels wordt gesproken over een 'links course' of 'golf links'. In het Nederlands wordt ook wel 'zeebaan' gebruikt.
- Links er den eldste typen golfbane og ble først utviklet i Skottland, golfens hjemland. Linksbaner ligger ved kystområder, på sandet jordsmonn og ofte blant sanddyner, med få vannhindere og få (ofte ingen) trær. Dette gjenspeiler både naturen i landskapet der spillet oppstod og det faktum at banearkitekter på den tiden hadde begrensede midler til rådighet, samt at graving måtte gjøres for hånd og derfor ble holdt til et minimum. Utfordringene ved golf på linksbaner kan deles i to. For det første: banenes egen natur, som ofte karakteriseres av ujevne fairwayer, tykk rough og små, dype bunkere. For det andre, på grunn av beliggenheten ved kysten, er mange linksbaner preget av sterk vind. Dette påvirker spillestilen og favoriserer golfere som kan spille lave, presise slag. Fordi mange linksbaner består av ni hull som spilles utover kysten i én retning og ni hull som spilles innover i motsatt retning, må spillerne ofte streve med motsatt vindretning i hver halvdel av runden. Linksbaner er mest vanlig i Storbritannia, spesielt i Skottland, og Irland. The Open Championship spilles alltid på links, og dette skiller den fra de andre major-turneringene, som holdes i USA. Det finnes også noen linksbaner i andre land, inkludert baner i USA som Pebble Beach Golf Links i California og Whistling Straits i Wisconsin.
