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.

Nice to play.

This links style course is fun to play. It is in good condition. Traps and tee boxes are in good condition. Greens are very good. A little fast. I'll pay again.

Not as good as it’s been

I like the course a lot. It’s not in as good shape as it has been. Some greens are a little beat up but they aren’t bad. Fairways are a little dry in some spots. Overall it’s in descent shape. Lots of pitch marks players aren’t fixing but that’s not the courses fault. It’s just a little below it’s normal but playable . We always enjoy it here.

Short but challenging

Greens are small requiring good approach shots. Overall in good condition.

Challenging course

This is a "Target golf" course with lots of water and obstacles. The course is challenging, and some of the holes are very confusing. A couple of the holes had hitting mats in the tee box instead of grass..unclear why. Greens were generally in good condition

Staff is friendly and the facility has good off course amenities.

The price was very good by today's standards. I would repeat

Not a fan

I don't like this course. I play here in a league, rarely play here any other time. I don't like the layout. The course was redesigned several years ago, and the old layout was more interesting. The greens are in poor shape. The fairways are nothing but hardpan. One of the guys i ended up partnering with referred to it as a goat track and said he wouldn't play there again. On a positive note the staff i have meant are nice.

Very poor value and very poor course - stay away !

All areas of this course were quite bad - thin fairways, sandy/bare tee boxes, diseased greens, poor bunkers and a confusingly poor layout. I would never come here again
