Know it very well. built in Marlton as an adjunct to a housing development and the name of the club was Kings Grant , it matched that of the subdivisions built around . It was heralded as a new, environmentally responsible community , which it had to be as it is built in the Pinelands and required lots of state approvals.
The original development company sold it in the late the late 70's ( a guess) to local amateur golfer Tony DeSimone , a Cadillac dealer and successful local amateur golfer in Philadelphia and South Jersey Tournament play. Tony was a great competitor who really thought his way around the golf course. Have to check on his playing record but suffice it to say his tenacity made him an overachiever. he and his wife loved golf and the club they bought and renamed it the Links at Kings Grant. Mrs. DeSimone operated the club for a number of years after here husband died and eventually sold to a local operator who run Centerton CC and one other.
The Links is a fun, sporty course where accuracy is more important than length. A few quirky doglegs and some short par fives make it playable for the average golfer yet the small greens really require some good iron play.
The golf course rewards local knowledge , and they are going to play a local qualifier for the Philly Am there in May. My guess is that some locals will shoot the majority of low rounds at same.
The Links is a fun golf course , relatively short by today's standards. However most golfers will enjoy the walkability of the layout and will make a few pars no matter their handicap. All in all , not a bad spot !
