Leaf Links: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 09:42, 1 October 2011

Leaf Links is an golf course in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories based on a chain of islands in Vice City. Located just west of Vice Beach, it is surrounded by water and condominiums, and is a major attraction for the wealthy. Golfers are constantly seen in the area, defending it with gang-like vigor when attacked. The Comet also spawns at the main building, where the two guards patrol the entrance.

Firearms and other weapons (with the exception of brass knuckles) are not permitted on the course, and a metal-detector is located at the entrance, which automatically strips all weapons from the player and leaves them to be collected outside. Unfortunately, if the player has more than 6 weapons with him/her, only 6 of those weapons will be there. However, this can be bypassed by climbing onto a high enough vehicle and jumping over the hedge.

The name "Leaf Links" may be based on Leith Links, a park in Edinburgh, where Vice City's creators, Rockstar North are located, and where the game of golf originated. However, it's based off the Normandy Shores Golf Course in Miami.

-'''Leaf Links''' is a golf course located in [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]]. Located in the inner middle area of [[Vice Beach]], it is surrounded by sparkling water and beautiful condominiums. People of the more affluent type, such as [[Gonzales]] come here to relax, to make business deals, or to just get in shape. With an extensive golf course and several other sports-related areas, Leaf Links is a symbol of upper-crust society standard of living, save for those who get a pass card from someone. Firearms are not permitted on the course, and a metal-detector is located at the entrance of the course to prevent the entry of them, though some managed to get past this small inconvenience. A group of people, called [[Golfers]], are constantly seen in the area, defending it with gang-like vigor when attacked.

-To enter the golf course with weapons, a player can avoid the metal detector at the front door. To do this, the player needs to get a vehicle, preferably the [[Comet]] parked at the entrance and drive it so it is positioned by a hedge, then exit the vehicle and jump onto it and over the hedge.
