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 golf course

A must play when you are in the area.

I have been playing golf here for about 5 years now, and I always love and enjoy playing golf here. The pro shop named, Jerry is always welcoming me back and he was always pleasant with all the customers he checked in.

Also the Starter named, Michael is very accommodating to all golfers. The bag boys are always ready to take care of the golf bags upon arrival and after golf to clean and load up my golf bag.

Beautiful views when on the water side of the course

Overall good day of golf. However the pace if play was a little slow. Did notice a group of five walking and a few others that slowed the pace down. The cart paths were broken up pretty bad but other than that the day was great. I would recommend keeping the snack bar open later than 4 pm for later rounds.

First time playing here

This is my first time playing this course. It was a holiday weekend and with the Golf now deal of $100. I would say this was definitely one of the better values to play out here. Greens are in good condition. Course was in good condition pay a play was four hours though when we got to the back nine, they decided to send a single out in between two foursome. Not sure why it did slow us down, but all in all Was a good experience.

Golf cart retriever boy

This kid was the rudest kid that I have ever met

He was rushing me to give up my cart while I was trying to teach my daughter how to putt.

It was 6:00 and they were still open

He talked back to me with an attitude and wouldn’t be quiet when I was speaking . They should teach them how to speak in those situations. I told him that there was watermelon rhines and trash in the ice chest and that I had to clean it. he said that”It wasn’t his problem “

Lots of water

Water on or along 14 holes keeps the game interesting. Wind was a factor. Enjoyed the track.

Nice time

Course overall was in good condition. The greens at the Links course were head and shoulders better than Baytowne. Several of the sand traps could use some more sand. Several tee boxes need some attention and grass. Had a nice time.

Like the course

Only issue was yardages on the cart GPS were all wrong. Probably cost me four or five strokes and two balls in the water.

Staff were all friendly and helpful. Course conditions were good to very good. Layout requires premium accuracy.
