It really depends on where you are. If we're talking links land, then there will more than likely be some sort of wind 99% of the time. It can range from a steady but manageable 5-10km/h breeze, to some days being so strong that the flags are almost touching the green - one morning I played Machrihanish springs to mind.

It's really a combination though. It'll usually be colder, sometimes raining sideways, although the wind is quite predictable in direction on most links courses.
