Well, Southern Oaks comes to mind. Take a wide open piece of land with very few trees and stick a bunch of flags in the ground. Substitute a Turnpike and some power lines for the ocean and you got something resembling a links course, where the wind is a significant factor effecting play. It certainly doesn’t have the eye appeal of a true links course (or the pot bunkers), but kind of plays like one.
