Different types of Golf Courses:


Links Golf Course:

A links golf Course is built near a sandy coastline, as you can see from the locations of the links golf courses in Ireland. They are very open and exposed to wind, making golfing difficult for golfers. The rough is made up of tall grasses. The only water the course gets is naturally occurring i.e. rain.  The course usually has many bunkers because of the availability of sand.
 

Parklands Course:

A parklands course is the most common course in Ireland. They are found usually inland. They have lush, green fairways, trees and greens. They often include water hazards such as rivers or lakes.

Desert Course:

A desert course is a course that has been artificially watered to create. They are found in hot and dry countries such as Spain and then the oil rich Middle – Eastern countries. They are very expensive to run. From above, they look like ribbons of green in a sea of brown sand.
