OK, thanks for responding. I've heard that traditional links on marginal land are fine, but I always kinda wondered if that was just propaganda. I've never golfed, but I can definitely see the appeal of whacking a ball with a stick while taking a nice walk on the seashore. In my area it's all manicured greens, unfortunately. At the public courses, can you rent clubs like you rent shoes at a bowling alley?
I'm in the states and my city has a municipal course that costs I think $30 for a tee time and you can rent clubs for a reasonable rate. It's kinda manicured, but I think they try and use as many local grasses as possible for everything that's not the green.
Every city should have one municipal course available to anyone.

Clubs don't even cost much. Got myself a 7, a putter, and one of those chipper ones, all for a total of 30 quid.
