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
Enjoyable GolfMuch progress and the course was in great condition. I’m worried about all the houses they’re putting in,
It appears it’ll be very tight when the houses are finished

Excellent condition
This course was in excellent condition from tee to green. Fun to play and enjoyed. Price was a good value, have played other courses in not as good condition and paid more. Highly recommend.

Good track for the season
Good value for a round on Saturday last minute. After reading other reviews I gave this course a shot. Greens played true and were in good condition. They’ve switched up the course after a renovation people were telling me so some holes seem out of place as they’re making room for more homes. Fairways were average and in better condition than most courses during this season. Overall pretty tough track and not a lot of room for error on some holes. I’d give this course another shot next year due to all the ongoing maintenance and construction in and around the course right now.

First time
As with any course payed the first time, unknown water & doglegs can screw up your game -- which happened.
Interesting 1st nine, but wasn't prepared for 2nd nine. Much more difficult.
Still a fun course with sufficient challenges.

Firm and fast in August!!!
Course was well maintained. Not at all soggy not even damp! Its honestly a $50 course that you only pay 30 for! I had played there last year and decided not to go back (before the renovation).But now its a top 5 course and maybe only 1 of 3 I will play during the rainy season. Its truly a wonderful course. No driving range but have what i call the batting cages lol
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round, philiprburgess! We look forward to seeing you again soon.

I played the course on an overcast and a little rainy day today. Ron and his staff were friendly and helpful as always.
The course is in great condition for this time of the year in FL. Fairways are in great condition and greens are very good as well. This course drains well so rain was not an issue. pace of play was a little slow, as we had a twosome in front of us playing the blue tees and waiting until the group in front of them reached most greens. Only to hit shots tahat didnt warrant the wait.
Still finished in 3.5 hours..
Dave and his team have made some great improvements to the course over the past two years. If you haven't played it lately, do yourself a favor and book a tee time soon.
BobCornelius, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Links of Sandpiper.
Too many golfer stacked to close. At one point we saw 10 groups on 2 holes.
