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.

worth the trip from P C
Only bad thing was the weather, off and on storms throughout the day. What a beautiful layout and the greens were very receptive. Usually the nicer courses the greens are way too fast for me, these were just the rite speed.
Thanks for the great review and for choosing Links at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. We hope to see you again soon!
Wet & Foggy
Started at 1:00 and played 18 with fog rolling in on the back nine. Cart path only due to wet conditions but we got our round in and enjoyed the course. Love the marsh/bay views.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We would love to know how we can earn those last two stars next time! Thanks for playing Links at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.
Should have been closed or delayed
It was like playing into the black lagoon with the amount of fog - should have delayed starts or closed until playable. Bag help was no help at end of round. Of course is pretty you couldn’t tell.
Beautiful course
This course was amazing!! Absolutely beautiful views! Great conditions. Can't wait to play again in the spring or summer when its warmer.
Thanks for the amazing review and for choosing Links at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. We hope to see you again soon!
Nice Course
Love the layout of the course and no issues with pace of play.
Amazing course!
Had a 7:50am tee time. Got there early and they had a driving range (irons only) to warm up. Got paired up with two amazing people from Atlanta. Course was beautiful. From the woods to the bay, the course had some of the best views. It was a challenging course, but well worth it. Hole 14 is an amazing hole along the bay. Slow down and take that hole all in! Cannot be playing golf in Illinois in December, so it is great to hit the course in Florida.
Thanks for the amazing review and for choosing Links at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. We hope to see you again soon!

Tennessee First Timers
We’re from the Nashville TN area and chose S-Links because of its proximity to our stay in Santa Rosa Beach and now we know it was the right choice. The course is challenging but why take it on if it’s not. The staff was very friendly. The heavy rain the previous day made it a cart path only round and with the walks we had to take across the fairway and getting a little lost because we were first timers to the course they sent John D ( out delightful starter) out to ask us to pick up the pace. He was very nice and understanding. We appreciated his friendly demeanor.
The fairways and greens had drained very well and it was a treat to play on such a well maintained course. We hope to play it again someday.
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Links at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.
Beautiful views but a pretty cold day for me
Beautiful views on many of the holes are worth seeing. The course has more water than any I’ve sever played but it’s fair. I really enjoyed playing this course and definitely will be coming back on a much warmer day.
poor score - wonderful round
Had perhaps my highest score of the year and loved every minute of it. We played on a weekday off season and took advantage of their twilight rates with a 12:10 starting time. Starter got us off at 11:40. Temperature was 75 with a light breeze. The fairways were in better condition than the greens I normally play and the greens were the best I encountered this year. Risk - Reward is the perfect description. If you dare, and succeed, you can shave shots. If Karma intercedes, it only takes a couple holes to ruin a days scorecard. We loved it and will play again next time we are down. Bonus is they have three excellent courses with as much water and sand as you could dream of. ...Its a bargain.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Links at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.

Love it
I love this golf course. It’s not like any other that I’ve played in north Florida. The greens are inviting and although average speed are true. Some of the scenery is Pebble Beachesque. Some long par fours and tough par fives, (I’m 65 so). Shot 39 on the front and had my but handed to me on the back.
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!
