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.

Time for a Renovation

this course is ok, but not what is should be for sure. It's old and it's time for a refresh and a renovation plan. Lots of rough tee boxes, fairways, and bad cart paths.

Greens were soft and slow.

The course has great potential but needs work.

Much better courses in the area, for similar price.

Clubhouse and driving range, look like something from the 80's. Range has no grass and the range balls, were old and rough It's time, for Sandestin to remodel this course. .

The Links at Sandestin

Nice course, interesting layout, very good greens with plenty of movement. Weather was a bit wet for us but solid course overall and with many holes alongside the water, the course was very picturesque in many areas. Rental clubs were pricey for being a bit long.in the tooth but overall an excellent day and value.

Best view of the water on any coarse around

Me and 5 of my best friends played this coarse on my bachelor trip and it was a blast. Best view of the water on any golf coarse. The cart girl was superb, the pro shop was helpful and quick, and the food was great. I highly recommend this coarse for a group that is looking to have fun and get an 18 in. Can’t wait to go back this summer!

I wanna give a higher rating

The course layout is really nice BUT the course needs love! Greens are great but fairways tees and landscaping is all very tired. I really want to rate it higher but the course needs seed and lots of tlc.
