Jack Nicklaus has had the pleasure of taking Mother Nature's best piece of linked land and signing his name to something unique. St Francis Links will challenge all who play it and reward those who respect it. The layout combines every element of shot-making with its undulating terrain, greens and surrounds as well as its variation in length and direction. The shape of the greens comes from the natural movement of the land. The greens have simply been placed on top of the sand, changing shape in construction as the wind changed its mind. Some are more undulating than others. All putting surfaces and green surrounds present a mental and physical test. The Links is a famous wedding venue, contact us and we can facilitate setting you up with their wedding coordinator.
