Gee, it's obvious learner must be included in links? (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
golf course
'links?' is the definition.
(synonyms)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for golf course that I've seen before include "area for drivers" , "Royal Troon or Carnoustie, for example" , "Possibly links" .)
