Links of Sandpiper
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.

Front nine good
Back nine has some funky holes. We didn’t know quite where to hit it.
Hello, larryhenry. Thank you for visiting us at Links of Sandpiper. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
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

Worth it
Greens were in great shape. Fairways and tee boxes also in great shape. Other than the 16th hole (my fault) I know I could do better. I Will be back.

True links
This is a true links course lots of elevation lots of moguls. If you've never played this course before I suggest you get a layout map so you'll know where you're going some of the holes are kind of tricky to figure out. Greens are in excellent condition very fast Fairways and rough good. I recommend if you're in the area and you like links courses play this one.
