True links terrain is rare in Florida. This Naples course justifies the drive. Open, exposed, firm ground. Wind actually matters here. That alone sets it apart from the cart-slog resorts that dominate the state. At 4,000 yards, the distance is honest. The Gulf breeze adds teeth when it shows up. A slope of 95 means the walk stays manageable. Beginners won't get buried. Neither will hackers with creaky knees.
