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.

Enjoyable Golf Experience
The changes to Links of Sandpiper are worth giving the course a chance. Outstanding ammenities, staff, and value for the price. I've heard most of the complaints about the layout changes on the back nine. The course is not set up for bombers and long ball hitters. So stay home unless you are willing to play placement golf, use more of your clubs and don't complain. At this time of year, most of Florida's golf courses are full and thus pace of play is slower. Doesn't matter what course you are on. This is a very good thing for golf generally, and Sandpiper. Go play Sandpiper and enjoy the experience. I have to rate my experiences at Sandpiper as excellent all around.
Hi, Robert1007488. We appreciate you leaving a review and rating us. We will inform the entire team, so they know their hard work is paying off. We look forward to having you back at Links of Sandpiper!
Pace of play
Everything about the course was brought to a stop with pace of play. I might suggest a ranger to help the pace. The greens on the front are 180 degrees from the back.
All in all I would thinkof playing again because of the challenge of the course.

Overbooked
Overall, the course is greatly improved over what it used to be like. The exception is hole 18 which has been really messed up due to home construction.
The pace of play has been really slow lately. It seems like tee times are being booked too close together.

Saturday outing
We had a wonderful time. My son down from Atlanta he as ever played the course with the new changes. The greens were good and the fairways were good even the sand traps had good texture. The weather was over cast with spots of rain. The course soaked up the rain. A good time was had by all
