Links at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort
About
The Links Course at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort is the ultimate in risk-reward golf. The architect, Tom Jackson, routed five holes along the bay and then wound the course inland across rolling undulations. In order to prevail against the blustery Gulf Coast winds, accuracy and proper club selection are essential, making it a true shot-maker's golf course. In addition to being right along the shores of the Choctawhatchee Bay, the Baytowne Marina serves as a backdrop to the course, providing even more stunning views of the Emerald Coast. Of the four championship golf courses that Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort offers, the Links is one of the original two and also one of the most popular. The layout offers a unique links experience that all skill levels can enjoy, especially since it features four different sets of tees.

Great views of bay
Green were good speed Take time to enjoy the scenery only downside is irons only on driving range
Course was is good shape, plays real well
The golf course was in great condition and nice layout .
I was disappointed in the amenities, club house and rest areas are dated and some simple paint and polish would fix it. Rentals are any old clubs they have and not a complete set.
Bottom line good course with good value
Course layout
It was hard, at times, to navigate hole to hole. Signage could’ve been better.
Fun course
Possibly my favorite course in the Destin area. It’s not long and can penalize you for using long clubs. However, the course gives you a number of holes along the bay.and lots of challenging but manageable approach and short game shots.
For the value the course was in great shape. I would have loved to hit woods and hybrids at the range but it’s irons only. Pace of play is likely slow. We started 10 minutes late due to the group in front of us. I would expect afternoon play might back up.
Sandestin Links
I really enjoyed this course.
It’s very challenging, tight, especially in the wind.
The course is very picturesque, lots of bay views.
Golf links
I played here and you need to be a where there are roots under the grass even 30 yards out from some of the trees
I injured my right arm hitting my shot from 1 on them and then other places the grass is like it is floating on water and your ball plugs
I really wasn’t expecting this stuff
Great layout
The layout is great, and the staff is friendly. However, the price of $130 for greens that don’t roll true and some that are filled with weeds seems unreasonable.
Holiday Golfer
Course in great shape for the time of year, greens were pretty good. #2 fairway, disappointing, had to move the ball to hit 2nd shot.
Staff was good, with the exception of a fivesome out then a foursome then our twosome, seemed to be a lot of twosomes, which feels slow, but actually was only 7 minutes slow, but when it’s 2 then 2 then 5 then 4 then us it feels slow
Views
Incredible views, greens were slow, but very consistent.
Most holes have water. Wind was brutal.
The course was in great shape, beautiful greens. Lots of water around the holes required accuracy off the tee. The wind off the big water was absolutely brutal -3 clubs. Not sure why a nice course would allow a five some but they did so play came to screeching halt when we caught up to them on the back nine.
Great shape
Played this course a bunch of times and every time it’s been amazing views and average condition. This time it’s better than ever and the course was in feet shape. One of my favorites in the area for sure.
Always challenging, in a good way.
Good condition considering March 4th. Definitely like to play more long irons, particularly off the tee. I play it a couple times every year.
