The Links delivers a highly rated layout with stunning water views, including the memorable hole 15 right off the water. Friendly staff, solid course conditions, and strong value make this Destin-area course well worth the visit.

Length 6710 yards

Rating 72.2

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, lots of water.

Really beautiful, well designed with abundant sand and water. Only big complaint is the greens had just been punched and sanded and were remarkably slow. Would suggest offering a slightly discounted price given how long the greens were kept.

Perfect course…. Grumpy starter

Went down on a guys trip as we do multiple times per year. This is our favorite course bar none. It is always well-maintained and gorgeous water courses on the front nine.

However, the starter is very grumpy and takes himself way too serious. Got very rude with us before we even teed off. Almost to the point we canceled our round. Knowing how friendly Jerry is in the pro shop and how great the course is, we overlooked his attitude and went ahead and had a fantastic round. Get over yourself dude.

A Quick Round at the beach!

Every staff member that we encountered was fabulous. Polite, professional, and welcoming! The course was in OK condition…..for the money. I would’ve thought it would’ve been in better shape, but that’s Destin in June.

Too slow.

Way too slow and no Marshall to force groups together. Should never have singles playing when it’s taking 2 hours to play 4 holes.
