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.

Tee boxes need some work.

The fairways and greens were is very good condition. Can’t say the same thing for the tee boxes. Didn’t matter if it was a par 3 or 5. Hard to find a patch of grass or level ground to tee off.

Challenging but Very Scenic

The course was challenging with the greens well protected by bunkers and fairways with plenty of water hazards on several sides. However, the scenic view of the bay with numerous palm trees alongside many of the fairways was truly breathtaking. I would recommend playing this course to experience the challenge and the view.

Unhelpful staff and overbooked course

They overbooked the course that day apparently and upon making my tee time I noted my wife would be riding along. I believe I made the reservation on the 20th so they had 3 days to, at the very least, let me know a ride along wasn’t guaranteed but instead we were blindsided. They make no note of that upon reservation or that if you book as a solo player you’ll be thrown into a group so you’re not only stuck playing with people you don’t know, you have your anniversary golf trip spoiled by an unprepared course with less than helpful staff.

Fun time

We played twice at the Links course. We enjoyed the rounds very much! The course was challenging for sure!

We felt the staff at the course could’ve been friendlier and more helpful. Nobody offered to carry our clubs to our cart nor did anyone greet us on our return.

Solid Overall

Pace of play was great. Course wouldn’t allow non-riding players but didn’t have it posted online, so we didn’t find that out until arriving which was frustrating. Conditions were excellent, but I gave it 4 stars because greens were rolling a 7-8. Way too slow. Fairways, rough, and bunkers were immaculate. Would definitely play again.

Really enjoyed it!

Loved the course. Right up there with the Raven as far as Sandestin courses. The starter talked to us about pace of play, but we were waiting every shot on the group in front of us. The food was limited at the turn. No need to play Baytowne Golf club, just stick to this and the Raven and you will love it. Great views of the bay too. Gotta be super accurate off the tee, but that makes it fun.
