Links voted best municipal golf course in Florida

The best golf courses in Florida aren’t just the private, expensive courses.

The Links at Boynton Beach has been named the best municipal golf course in the state of Florida by Golf Digest magazine.

Wayne Segal, Boynton Beach City spokesman, said using a combination of star ratings from Golf Digest’s Best Places to Play and their Best in State rankings, the magazine selected the best municipal golf course in each state.

Scott Wahlin, course manager, said one of the goals of the Links has always been to be the best maintained golf course in Florida.

The Links, 8020 Jog Road, is a complete golf facility featuring an 18 Hole Par 71 Championship Course and a 9 Hole Par 30 executive length Family Golf Course.

“It is a great honor,” Wahlin said. “We put a lot of money back into the course and have never taken a nickel of taxpayers dollars.”

Wahlin said the pace of play, along with course condition are some of the factors that brought the Links the honor.
