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.

Trees, a water fountain and rye overseed infact imply the very opposite of "links." Photo submitted by TimGavrichGP on 03/13/2020

Not worth $45
There are really no fairways, just shorter grass. Hard to tell if you were in the rough or on fairway. Greens need some work. Way too much sand and they are rough. Another commenter called them "fuzzy" and I would have to agree. The layout of the front 9 is fine, but the back 9 is terrible. Holes 14-18 are shoved into the space of 2 holes. Hole 17 is particular horrible. You have to hit over an island with trees, so you have no way to track your ball. There is no fairway to aim for, just a cart path and 2 bunkers on the other side. The Pro Shop and bar staff are friendly. The starter was great. Very personable. That's about all. This plays more like a $20-$25 municipal course. Overpriced a d won't be back.
Fun
Challenging layout fun course. Greens need attention, but it's transition time
Course is in poor shape. Lots of weeds, sand traps rough and greens half dead.
very rough shape
ok for hitting balls if you are a serious golfer look eldewhere
Course needs TLC
I read a few recent reviews complaining about the maintenance of the course, and I have to say that these were all correct. The location is and the design of the course are nice. But the is needs some serious TLC.
Fun
This course is FUN....
Very challenging recommend for avid golfers who love a challenge
No Snowbirds so not crowded
Played in 3 hrs on a Friday mid morning tee time that was a great pace guess snowbirds went back home course was ok looking some fairways and greens not so good but playable it’s a $20 course at best I’ll come back if I can get deals on GolfNow under $30
Never again
Bunkers are nice, greens are furry, fairways are beat up. 1st and last time playing here :). I am a 7 handicap and this is just not what I expected from a course in Florida.
Good combination of hole difficulties.
Great layout, pace of play was very slow. The group in front of me had 5 players and took forever to play.
Challenging for the average skill
The back 9 was a totally different game than the front 9. Enjoyed the layout.
Only negative was after 9 we wanted a hotdogs and a beer. Had to wait bartender as she was busy, than we were told it would be about 5 minutes for the hot dog's.. none were ready like other courses. The cost was a shock, 4.50 a dog and 4.50 f0r a beer 13.50 for a half way snack plus about a 15.minute wait.
Looking good
They have been working on the greens and it’s showing. Best they have been in a few months and the fairways are in good shape as well. Pace of play was great. Went last week to when they were busy, started off a little slow, but picked up as well.
Friendly service
Great service and awesome course. Fast, slippery and true greens even in wet condition made it challenging. Well kept course.
needs alot of work
fairways mostly crab grass.about 5 greens are in terrible shape.
