Golf course in German port? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

links

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'golf course' is the definition.
(I know that Links is a type of golf course)

'in german port?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'in' is within the answer.
'port?' could be 'l' (abbreviation for L - 'port' is 'left' on a boat) and 'l' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for links that I've seen before include "Golf course by the sea" , "Golf-course" , "Type of golf course" , "Bonds" , "course for sportspeople" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
