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.

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.

Slow pace
Letting fives ones play and letting high handicap players start from blues as a five done makes a bad day for the rest marshal did not care about complains

It is always our utmost goal to provide our golfers with a fun and enjoyable time and we apologize if we missed the mark. Please feel free to reach out to our staff in the pro shop with any additional concerns. Thanks for choosing Links at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.
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.
Thank you for your review. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the pace of play and found the course conditions to be excellent. We apologize for any frustration caused by the non-riding policy not being posted online. We appreciate your feedback on the greens and will pass it on to the team in charge. We hope to see you again soon!
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Links at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort!
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.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Links at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort thanks you!
Amazing for the price
Greens were slow, but the course was super green and you get TONS of holes on the bay for the price.
I do think they should switch the nines but otherwise was a great experience
Thank you for visiting us at Links at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. We appreciate your 5-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.

Too political.
Please ask staff members not to preach politics when engaging with guests. It made me very uncomfortable.

We value all of our guests and strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone. We will share your feedback with our staff to make corrections and improvements. Any feedback is greatly appreciated so that we can improve your future experiences at our course. Thanks again for choosing us.
Course conditions were good
I feel the overall experience was good. There were several drawbacks however.
We were playing at a normal pace and got notified we were too slow. The hold up was actually at the turn because there was noone staffing the restaurant taking orders. That wasted 10-15 minutes due to the number of people waiting in line.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Links at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.
