"undulating sandy ground," 1728, from Scottish/Northumbrian link "sandy, rolling ground near seashore," from O.E. hlinc "rising ground, ridge;" perhaps from the same P.Gmc. root as lean (v.); cf. O.E. hlinan "to lean." This type of landscape in Scotland was where golf first was played; the word has been part of the names of golf courses since at least 1728.
