Springtime is a great time to get into better shape on the golf course and as they say in Scotland, let's play the "links"!

Traditionally a "links" course is actually built along the seaside where the soil is sandy and drains easily. The layout is more natural with imperfections; bumps and slopes remaining in original shape rather than being smoothed over.

Links courses have few if any trees with the Number 1 hole beginning at the clubhouse and the front nine plays straight out so that hole 9 is the furthest and hole 18 is back at the clubhouse.

Some of the classic features of this relatively difficult and high end golf course include descending into the "valley holes" beginning with the 12th tee. There in the valley of the beautiful 16 Mile Creek, the course is in it's most natural setting.
