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.

Fun course to play. Water made a few holes challenging, but not really noticeable on a lot of holes. Lost fewer balls here than at other courses in the area!

Gorgeous setting, especially the back nine

Outstanding day, never played here, actually our first time in Destin, so have never played any course here. My wife and I really enjoyed the day, golf, and scenery! Price was very reasonable and well worth the price!

Sandestin The Links

Course was not crowded and pace of play good - just under 4 hours with a 4some. No one really manned the bag drop for drop off or when leaving - did get someone to put bags on cart when we found them after we unloaded them from car. The bag drop person when we finished went in the barn and never came out. Facilities were not great so we never tried them. Course greens were in excellent shape, fairways OK. The course layout is good is good and based on your tee as challenging as you would like to make it.
