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.

The course was ours...
It was pretty odd that there was no one in front or in back of us, but we did start at 130. The fairways were great and the greeds were fast... too fast for me :)
It's good to see them always working on it!

Average course. Slow play
No starter or anyone managing pace of play. They let a group of 5 go out that ruined it for everyone all day. Course very narrow. Holes on top of each other. Almost hit several times
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. 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!

Booking Error
I booked a tee time for a single golfer for 7:45am. I arrived at 7:35am and was ready to tee off at 7:43am, except they decided to let four groups of four tee off ahead of me ON MY tee time. I ended up having to skip the first four holes and start on hole 5. This wouldn't have been a problem had the person at the desk told me this, then I would've asked to start on hole 10 and circle back for the front 9.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review, and we do hope you'll give us another shot soon.
