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.

Little tricky finding clubhouse for the first time since there are a few courses on the resort but after checking in they had us paired with another couple which is normal but let us play as a 2 some which was great. Fun course. Price was fair. Would play again

Scenery is the reason to play. A shame to not keep this layout in better shape. Lots of play and thus plenty of revenue.

Interesting Challenge

Put your driver away. This course requires accurate shot placement. Play the Course not the clubs. Narrow fairways and sharp doglegs makes for some interesting challenges. The course runs along the bay on several holes making it visually awesome, and on a windy day anyone's guess where to hit the ball.

Good Luck

Good course

A lot of water so you have to think about your shots. The course was in good shape except for the fact the greens had just been treated with sand.

Interesting Challenge

Have to Play the Course and not the clubs. The layout is challenging and requires proper accuracy and distance control. Some holes along the bay can be windy depending on the weather. It was a lot of fun and a good value. Not surrounded by houses which made the environment relaxing.

PLAY IT.

Tuesday round

Got stuck behind a five some as a.single. One of the players was learning how to play. Where were the marshals? Greens needed attention also. One of my favorites in Destin. Will not play again

Play it Yearly

The course was in good condition. The greens were a little rough. However we selected to play this course instead of higher reviewed courses. The scenery is terrific. I’m sure we’ll play there next year.
