Guys, while reading about many courses in some of the various golf magazines they refer to many of the courses as a "Links type of course" or a "Championship course" among other descriptions. My question is what are all the course types and what are the key elements of (and differences between) each of the course types.

Thanks.

A Links course is essentially a treeless course that runs along the shore line. Traditionally in Scotland the land now occupied by a Links course was considered waste land, too sandy to grow anything on, and barren of any trees. Links courses specialize in long smooth run ups to the green, making it possible to shoot a 60 to 80 yard bump and run, whereas Championship courses (North American) usually protect the front of the green with sand traps.
