点评:Played a practice round and 2 x competition rounds with 122 competitors there this week. As with pretty much all courses at present due to the numerous heatwaves the fairways and rough are hard, bouncy and yellow, the tees are really good and the greens are stunning though.
The clubhouse staff were really nice and friendly and happy to help any way they could. Day 1 saw some heavy overnight & early morning rain unfortunately for the low handicap starters but by 9.30 the rain had gone and the vast majority of competitors had a dry and enjoyable round apart from a heavy 5min downpour in the late afternoon. Day 2 saw more overnight rain but the sun came out early and everyone’s wonderful conditions. There was a fair bit of wind on both days but it’s a links course and that’s what makes them tough and a challenge to most competitors, although a couple of dodgy handicaps spoilt things.
We will certainly return again to challenge the course again next year.
There are some stunning views across the course both from the clubhouse end and the airfield end looking back to the clubhouse.

会所的工作人员非常友善,乐于提供各种帮助。第一天夜里及清晨下了大雨,这对低 handicap 的球员们来说颇为不利,但到了9点左右……30日,雨停了。除了傍晚时分下过一场持续5分钟的倾盆大雨外,绝大多数选手都享受了一次干燥且愉快的比赛日。第二天夜里又下起了雨,不过清晨太阳便出来了,为所有人创造了极佳的比赛条件。这两天都有不少风,但这是一座林克斯球场,正是这样的环境让比赛充满难度与挑战性。不过,有几个不合理的 handicap 设置还是影响了比赛体验。明年我们一定还会再来,再次向这座球场发起挑战。从会所一端以及机场一端回望会所时,都能看到球场上一些绝美的景致。
