Exploring every links course in Great Britain.

Architect, author, photographer and – above all – golf course enthusiast Sam Cooper has turned his travels around the coast of Great Britain into a stunning series of journals.

Together with his wife, Harriet, they made the decision to take their lives in a completely different direction. Specifically, they bought a camper van and set off with their two dogs on a golfing odyssey based on Sam’s obsessive quest to play every links course – and nothing but links courses – in Great Britain.

Sam’s blog and social media channels struck a chord with all true golfers who have dreamed of doing something similar.

Now, Links From The Road will chart Sam’s travels for posterity in the form of a series of 18 volumes that cover every one of the 225 links courses that he has encountered.

  • Episode 017: Fleetwood
    2025/06/11

    Author Sam Cooper makes a compelling case for this Lancashire links being the oldest golf club in England, albeit across multiple sites and with a hiatus in the early part of the 20th century. Host Dan Murphy, editor of NCG Top 100s course rankings, argues that the likes of Fleetwood are essential for golf trips as they provide an alternative, entertaining and affordable contrast to the nearby likes of Royal Lytham & St Annes.

  • Episode 016: St Annes Old Links
    2025/06/04

    Author Sam Cooper delves into the life story of George Lowe, and speculates that his first thought when invited to create a course here was probably regarding his new workshop to manufacture clubs in rather than any architectural ambitions for the site. Host Dan Murphy, editor of NCG Top 100s course rankings, is struck by the unusual finish, where not one of the last three holes is a par 4. He then makes the mistake of asking Sam if he can think of any other courses that have a similar routing…

  • Episode 015: Royal Lytham & St Annes
    2025/05/28

    Author Sam Cooper explains why he fervently hopes – if not necessarily believes – that Royal Lytham’s days as an Open host venue are not in the past. Host Dan Murphy, editor of NCG Top 100s course rankings, desperately tries to work out what Sam’s Course in a Hole selection will be but there are just too many contenders here for him to be sure – starting with that famous par-3 opening hole, which makes both of them excited and intimidated in equal measure.
