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.

Great course / Nice stff
We had a great time playing our first round at the links. The staff was very nice and very accommodating. When our game was cut short because of weather, they gladly offered a rain check for our back nine..
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We're glad to hear that you had a great time at our golf course and that our staff was accommodating. We hope you join us for another round in the future!
Idiot Marshal
We had to wait to hit on every shot. On the 7th hole the marshall drives up to the tee where we are waiting, glares at us while we are hitting. He watches as our first player hits a drive within 10 yards of the group ahead after waiting five minutes for them to clear.
After all of us hit the marshall tells us to '"let's get it going".
I hope you find a better marshal going forward starting tomorrow.
Fun Course Great Views
Played during family vacation with my 12 year old son. The course was in great condition and was fun for both of us. Lots of water from all the ocean views, so bring a few extra balls. Tee boxes could use a little love but overall a great experience. Will play again in the future.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our golf course. We are glad to hear that you and your son had a great experience. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back in the future!
Solid course, rarer style, great ambiance.
The Links @ Sandestin provides an atypical experience with a wide variety of shot types. Tee shot accuracy is at a premium but extreme carry is not required. Course is in good condition even in extreme summer.
Thank you for visiting us at Links at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Great course
The course itself was great, I had a fun time playing on vacation. The greens were very, very slow. I’m not for sure if it was because it was so hot out or they are always that slow. That’s me just pointing out the details, I would still recommend for sure.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Links at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Great Views
Golf at the Links can be a very relaxing experience, The views of the manicured course rolling into the bay while a lone palm tree in the distance sways will take the nerves down a notch. Due to the pace of play police the course is not enjoyable as the scenery would suggest, on the first par three on the front side we had to wait several minutes for the green to clear. Once cleared we hit our tee shots. As we entered our carts the Marshall approached us complaining there was too big of gap between us and the group in front,
if the goal is to play as fast as one can perhaps a shot clock is in order. Or the 4 lawn mowers in the middle of the fairways on requiring us to wait could be avoided with a different mowing schedule. Or God forbid, don't over book the course.($$$$$-aint happening)
Greens were long and slow, probably protecting them from the heat. Sand was crusty on top but soft as talc underneath. Facilities were nice and functional. They usually have cart boys to help at the bag drop but I didn't see any. They were there, they just were not helping with the carts or bags. Proshop shop guys and the starter were very nice and professional.
We're glad you enjoyed your 5-star experience with us. Please comment or reach out to our team in the golf shop to let us know more about your round at Links at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort!
We would love to hear more about your positive experience on our course. Please contact us to share with us your favorite part of your experience. Thanks for golfing at Links at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort!
wonderful course
this is the second year in a row my son and i have played this course. This year the weather wasnt the best. in fact a tornado hit very close to us. we waited the weather out and had a good day. the staff is awesome.
Tornado interrupted our round
Overall course was exactly as I remember playing it 10 years ago. It had been raining all week in Destin - Miramar area and we did not get a chance to finish our round as a severe storm headed that way and it turned out to be a tornado. Course staff was attentive and got us out off the course and secured the carts.
I would like to play it again.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Links at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Course management required
Tough little course. Significant course management required. Wind was an issue. Driving range was irons only. But I really liked it. We had fun. Opportunities for cool pics. Definitely want to play again.
We appreciate the review. You rated us 3-stars which means there is room to improve on your recent experience at Links at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. Let us know, in the comments, how and where you would like to see changes from the course. Thanks for the feedback!
