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.

Really nice course, well maintain throughout the course. The staff was very nice and helpful especially Ms. Morgan inn the club house.....from Ken....Army Special Force
Too Pricey for Course Conditions
I get it, it’s touristy golf. But if you’re paying $127 for a round, it would be nice to have some consistent greens. They weren’t in great shape, one would roll fast, other like you’re putting on carpet. Range was closed so the round the included practice balls was a bummer. Should be a $75 course at most.
Links Golf Course
Course is amazing with beautiful views. Back 9, hole 15 right off of the water is a view to see. Staff is amazing and Tom, one of the pros there has the best customer service I’ve ever had. I highly recommend this course to anyone in the area.
GREAT COURSE!
Visiting Destin for the first time and with limited days for golfing I chose this course based just on the pictures of the course online. It was a little pricey, but in our opinion worth it. The course was in immaculate condition, staff was friendly and helpful. Cart girl checked on us several times. The only recommendation I would suggest to the course is more cold water available throughout the course to wet cold towels. The heat was pretty tough on the first nine but once we moved closer to the water the breeze was fantastic.
Course was great and a blast to play.
Greens fairways and rough were very very well kept. Great for the price, well worth it. Range balls are additionally provided. Would recommend !!
No Longer Care
Course and range indicate they no longer care about anything but collecting $150/person. Range is pure weeds greens are pure sand and fuzz.
Great Course
Booked this course because of the excellent waterfront views, but had concerns about the narrow fairways. Couldn’t have been more pleased with my round. The narrow fairways and hazards required thinking out the hole, and felt very rewarding when the strategy and club selection chosen paid off. The holes off the water were great and reminded us that we could look forward to hitting the beach after the round.
Opt for the 5 iron over the driver and you’ll have a great time.
Hole 9 and 14 are the standouts.
Tee's and faireays in pretty hood condition, but the greens disappointing.
Nice course but not that nice
This is an $80 course at best. I guess the price is more related to the tourist location rather than value of course.
The Links
Loved the course, grouped with 3 others and we had a great time. The course is challenging but fun. Would definitely play here again if I ever come back to San Dest.
Fun time at the Links
Nice layout-bring plenty of golf balls if you are having a bad day. There is a lot of water on the course.
A Course Marshall would help with the pace of play
A sign indicating where the clubhouse is located would be helpful
Nice layout
Fun course to play. Plenty of nice views of the bay. Staff very nice.
