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.

Links courses tend to be on, or at least very near to, a coast, and the term is typically associated with coastal courses, often amid dunes, with few water hazards and few if any trees.

Links golf is set up like the old Scottish courses. Mostly wide open and continuous fairways, instead of set up in parallel tree-lined fairways.
