Links
Course
A
championship
quality
course
reputed
as
one
of
the
most
celebrated
and
challenging
courses
in
the
Midwest.
Since
most
holes
on
the
Links
were
built
asreplicas
of
Scottish
&
English
golf
course
holes,
its
layout
strongly
resembles
courses
played
in
the
British
Open.
Under
the
direction
of
architect
Ron
Forse
in
2000,
the
Links
course
had
150
trees
removed
as
part
of
an
architectural
restoration
plan;
therefore,
it
is
predominantly
treeless.
Wind
comes
into
play
due
to
green
elevation
and
wide
openness.
This
classical
links
tract
is
full
of
legends
and
tales.
For
example,
legend
has
it
that
a
boxcar
was
buried
under
the
seventh
green
to
form
its
huge
green
elevation.
It
took
$250,000
to
construct
in
1930,
almost
an
unheard
of
cost
in
those
days.
Gently
rolling
terrain
and
bent
grass
fairways
along
with
multi-tiered,
unusually
elevated,
moderately
fast
greens
that
are
surrounded
by
about
90
strategically
placed
steep
bunkers,
deep
rough
and
large
snaking
sand
traps,
make
it
rare
for
a
flat-stanced
shot.
