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.

Li ks of Sandpiper
The front nine allows for some scoring chances. Wide open with very little danger. The 3 par3's, 3 par 4's and 3 par 5's make a nice combination. The back nine totally different. Especially #12. Water comes into play left and right forcing you to hit straight down the middle to have any chance of making a par. Then you have to play over water to approach the green. Not sure handicap of hole but found it to be toughest on course. If in the area again, would like to play again.

Played this course after booking last minute in golf now. Got to the course expecting to only play 9 as it was late in the day. Clubhouse told my son and I that they were surprised we were booked as they had a shot gun scramble. Blocked off. They suggested we play the back. Started out to find out we were between 2 inter club matches. One of the staff came to us and said it might be better f we skipped the hole. We did and it was smooth playing. Staff was amazing and made our visit really good.
Only criticism would be more info about ponds. Other than that a great.day. Lots of blind shots.

Wanted More
We knew because of the cold it was going to be a delayed start we had an early tee time the restaurant was not open so we had to leave and come back. The course needs some work from tee boxes to greens but the biggest issue which has been mentioned be fore is to many 2 balls and with the lay out of this course where the holes are on top of each other they really need a starter and ranger I did really like the layout of the course the back 9 had a few challenges

Nice challenging course, however I find the holes and fairways to close to each other that even your golf gps cannot pick up the correct holes or yardage needed

Too Busy
Had to quit after 12, there were far too many on the path waiting...2 sets of 5 and one of 7 ranger is needed.
Other than that course is great

Never play here
There were mutable groups of 5, I ask the pro shop after 4 holes to address this & was told these guys are every week & they play fast.. I can assure you they do NOT play fast. This place is a complete joke!

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!
