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.

Pretty water views on some holes

Bare bones check-in, no club amenities to speak of and poor signage on the course guiding you hole-to-hole was frustrating a few times. But the greens were somewhat maintained and the water views on certain holes were beautiful. The course itself looked a bit tired.

Great staff

Overall good course. Players seem to have never heard about letting a group play through.

I would play after 1:00 to miss slow play especially on the back nine.

Course conditions still need work

Course recently closed for maintenance, looks like they did nothing to address obvious issues needing attention, especially tee boxes,with big bare spots, dirt holes etc

Day at The Links

Course was in decent shape considering it has not been that long since they punched the greens. Very picturesque course views by the bay are great. We played the front 9 in under 2 hours, then on the back 9 it took closer to 3 hours due to 1 group. Would recommend playing the course.

A little disappointed, but still nice.

This is a nice course. The staff is helpful and friendly and the carts are modern and well-kept. I was quite surprised that there wasn't an actual clubhouse with a restaurant and bar, only a concession stand outside.

Many holes run along the bay coastline, which is beautiful. This also makes for a confusing layout as some holes are not visible from the previous hole and they were poorly marked. I was disappointed that some of the holes did not have complete cart paths, which is a pet peave of mine. My biggest issue with the course is that a lot of tee boxes were uneven, with dips and slants.

While I'd recommend, I was expecting a little nicer upkeep given the gorgeous location.

A fun links setup.

The course was in very good condition. Some easy holes and some difficult ones. Next time I'll play the up tees.

Good value.

The driving range is limited to iron only. It's hard to warm up without some driver practice, but all in all a fun round.

This course is challenging

I’m over 60 so I played the white tees. It had some doglegs, nice holes along the bay. Fairway bunkers definitely came into play. Overall I really liked the layout. Would definitely play again. The staff was a lot friendlier in the pro shop that the guy at the Raven.
