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.

Beautiful course

Course was in great shape. The layout was beautiful with lots of water and large greens. There are some spectacular holes on the back nine along the bay that are beautiful and challenging. Definitely worth the $$$.

The course is great overall. A fee of the tee boxes were pretty bad and need to be repaired, but the greens were nice, and the fairways are excellent.

Nice round tight course

This was my second time playing this course. It is a tight course with lots of water. Green speed was good and fairways were great. The only negatives were the ground in some areas was very soggy and made play difficult. The snack bar was tucked away and very small but had adequate food selections for the turn. If you want a challenge go play. I think I mentioned it was tight and lots of water. Happy golfing.

Way better than expected

The Links is a solid track with a nice mix of holes. A good number of holes have breathtaking views that are worth the price of admission by themselves. The fairways are meaty enough to have nice lies. The greens aren't bad but not great either. We would definitely play again
