While watching the British open the commentators mentioned how it was a good Links course. And that the other courses nearby were also good Links courses. And that the whole country side around was good for Links courses. And also that items that happen on other courses - certain bounces or whatnot - do not happen on a Links course.

Won't you please tell me... what is a Links course? And why is it a Links course and not some other type of course? What other types of course are there?
