Never really considered Beverly a links, but perhaps you are right. There are many sand dunes which create the rolling terrain here which isn't represented in the Chicago area most anywhere else....
However, when we began our tree management program, there were some opposed to the plan (few in number, loud in voice, the plan passed 189-27) who began to refer to the course as "Whistling Beverly."
Even those naysayers are silenced today when they see how well the course has turned out.
Links or not.
