What is the difference between a “links” course and any other kind of golf course?

QUESTION:
I’ve heard commentators on televised golf matches talk about links courses, but have never known how they are different from other kinds. What other kinds of courses are there?

Answer by Pooty Pootwell
I’m pretty sure links courses have shorter-length holes, and they may be only 9 holes total. I think par 3 courses are considered links.
