About
Links of Sandpiper in Lakeland offers a traditional links layout that sprawls across rolling terrain. The course is player friendly enough for players of all skill levels to enjoy but it has enough challenges for more advanced players as well. The course is anything but flat, and the ups and downs are the most challenging element you'll encounter. The small, undulating greens and narrow landing areas off of the fairways demand accuracy. Combined with elevation changes and strategically placed bunkers, proper club selection and course management also play important roles. Picking the right lines from the tees into the greens requires careful thought. You'll face a few blind shots thanks to the rolling terrain and there are also several bunkers strategically placed along the greensides. Links of Sandpiper's final four holes are the toughest stretch.

to slow
I last too times there ware (2) sets of 8 players in ahead doing more drinking than playing this was approx. 1 mouth apart the course is over booked and no one to help to keep it moving when you comeplane thay give you a LOOK.
Rude owner
Owner of sandpiper 0 star. Threaten to fight everyone in my party,if my party was in the wrong no reason for owner to keep yelling he would b..... Slap.... Us. actually left a previous 5 star review 4 years ago.just relaying my experience to the public
I was asked by my cart girl to help find carts not yet in after dark, I had just come off working with a tractor due to darkness, as we started out we met your group and I simply asked you to stop so I could ask if you all saw any other carts behind you - this somehow was offensive and off it went. I see a comment that a13 year old was present -I suggest that smoking weed in front of a 13 year old sets no good example - the smell was evident from 10 feet away, keeping carts out beyond dark is disrespectful to the workers who must clean them, the cart girl exited my cart and stood away and then she got back in the cart and left with me - she said zero to anyone.
Bottom line is smoke your weed and enjoy your golf elsewhere - you are not welcome back.
Sandpiper= good times
Sandpiper is an excellent course. Conditions are fair. Pace of play was great on a chilly December morning. It’s challenging but a good course and good value for your money. I always enjoy playing it! The restaurant/bar opens at 10:30am. Can’t beat that if you finish by 10:25am.

Not s fan
This is a nice course, but has some VERY dangerous conditions, there are tee boxes that are in line for people playing other holes, there are paths to the next hole that take you in line to the group behind you along the previous hole.

Always descent
Greens are excellent . The rest on the course is in good shape. Not super nice but not bad either. $36 for the am and $20 hot deals make it very appealing. Always a descent course for the price

sorry to hear of your opinion, i can assure you a group of 8 is not permitted and we do have people in place to monitor such disrespectful actions , we have extended our tee times from the standard 7 and 8 minutes apart that all golf courses use to 8 and 9 minutes apart to speed play - we are sorry for what it appeared to be, but the residents are quick to call and we hope we are quick to react to any groups of that number that quiet frankly disrespect golf if attempting an 8
! see badgolf1234 ( again)- just stop with this please
