The Links at City Park Golf Club is a municipal facility in Portsmouth, Virginia, designed by Thomas E. Clark. The course serves the Hampton Roads region, providing accessible public golf in a city setting. Portsmouth, located across the Elizabeth River from Norfolk, has a long history as a naval and maritime community, and City Park represents part of the city's recreational infrastructure developed to serve local residents and visitors. The course occupies relatively flat coastal plain terrain typical of southeastern Virginia, where elevation changes are modest and water management is a key design consideration. The layout likely incorporates natural and constructed water features, with holes routed through stands of pine and hardwood trees common to the Tidewater area. The term "links" in the name is more stylistic than literal, as true links conditions are rare in this humid subtropical climate, though open areas and strategic bunkering may evoke some links principles. As a municipal course, City Park serves a broad cross-section of golfers, from beginners to experienced players seeking an affordable round. The facility typically includes practice areas and a clubhouse with basic amenities. The course contributes to Portsmouth's public recreation offerings and provides an alternative to the region's resort and private club options, maintaining a straightforward, playable character suited to everyday golf.
