There is a difference between a links course and a links style course. Links courses are developed on the Links land that joins the sea to the mainland like at St Andrew's in Scotland. A links style course is merely a imitation ot these type courses generally a course that is developed out of the natural lay of the land without excessive trees or man made enhancements. Most links style courses are not by the sea all true links courses are.

A Links course is a course that is by the sea. I know this as i live in the South West of Scotland and there are lots of golf courses here. People come from all over the world to play some of them.

I spent 7 years working at a course here in Michigan and the PGA classifies it as a Links course but it's not on an ocean or a sea. It is however located along side of a river, That is why it's classed that way. It has 3 holes that play along the banks of the river so it's classed as a Links course.

A links golf course is a course that is based at near a sea. These courses are normally really sandy. These golf courses are really bumpy, there are small mounds everywhere, from the sand dunes. These courses also play hard as they get really windy so its hard to hit a long or stair shot
hope this helps
