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.

Wrong course reviewed! I apologize.

I apologize about the last review I wrote. It was meant to be for Schalamar Creek golf course and NOT Sandpiper. I have not played this course yet this year but from what I remember the course and what friends have told me, the course is in great shape! I can’t figure out how to delete a review so again, I apologize about giving a bad review.

Used to be nice

Haven’t played this course in several years but it used to be a pretty decent course. It is now one of the worst courses I’ve played in a long time. I don’t know what happened or why they let this course fall as far as it did but it is disappointing.

Good greens, fairways and tee boxes. Cool course layout.

Interesting design that puts you near the clubhouse three times. Back nine has some very challenging holes. 3-4 holes with water hazards.

Lots of singles playing this day, teamed up with a couple of them to have a fun round.

Bring your own drinks/cooler.

Definitely would play again.
