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.

Loved the course.
Great course for the money in the Destin area. Im a 7 handicap and loved it. Layout and views were great over the bay. Even had a good laugh at a teenager driving his personal cart into the 18th fairway pond. No one was hurt but it was funny.
Linkedy Link
Enjoyed my round, challenging and in great shape.
Will definitely play again.
Golfing with the boys
I took my daughters boyfriends golfing and we had a blast. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. I’m a decent golfer and thought the course to be challenging, yet extremely playable. Overall, we would most definitely make a return visit!
Course Info
Greens were slower than my liking. This was probably due to the greens being Aerated recently, however the rest of the course was in good shape. This is a placement course so if you are wanting to hit driver a bunch you might want to look into playing a different course.
Links - Great course !
Great course with awesome views! Some tough holes and some holes that weren’t too difficult!
Tight but in Good Shape
Course was in good shape except the greens were a bit rough. This is a very tight course and you need to be pretty accurate to avoid hazards and houses. If you shoot over 90 on average, bring some extra balls.
Great course with some challenges and some holes that aren’t too difficult. Great water views and the course was in good shape!
GMD Sandestin
Very slow pace of play, our threesome waited on all 18 tee boxes. About a 5 hour round for no good reason. Greens were so heavily sanded that I kept looking for a rake. No discount on green fees for the sand and no mention ahead of time. Course is old, slow and surprisingly noisy. a few nice holes on the water but not worth the money.
Beautiful Views, Great Layout!
Course has lots of breathtaking views, and several holes directly paralleling the bay. Gorgeous. Well-manicured as well. The greens were HEAVILY sanded the morning I played, otherwise I'd give 5 stars across the board. Several tight tee shots and lots of water hazards! Bring extra golf balls, mid-handicappers like me may need them. Holes 8, 9, 14, and 15 are stunning.
Great course with amazing views.
Course has a fantastic, fun, but occasionally challenging layout. Fairways and tees were in great shape, and the greens were fun despite being aerated and sanded recently. Prepare to lose at least a few balls to the water, as there are ponds or beautiful ocean/bay views on most holes. Good cost, especially compared to other courses around here.
Enjoyed the course. Staff was friendly
Course in good shape. Some beautiful bay views on a couple holes. Staff / starters friendly.
