Links O'Tryon was laid out by architect Tom Jackson, who worked Scottish character into the design with grass bunkers and walls and bridges built from imported fieldstone.
The clubhouse takes its design cues from the home of the Royal Burgess Golfing Society in Edinburgh, Scotland, echoing the stonework found throughout the course.
Set in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the layout winds through rolling countryside with mountain and water views, and plays as a fair but testing round suited to a range of skill levels.
