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.

JR
great value fr the price. lots of water on the back 9.
Hi jbrymer. 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!
I have played Sandpiper on and off over the last 13 years. It has had its ups and downs but has remained one of my favorites. Under new ownership, everything is getting better, despite COVID19. I and my friends play as early as possible to avoid the hot Florida sun. Some regulars do play extremely slow but I either stay well behind them or go through if allowed. When the course is crowded and slow, just be patient and enjoy the outdoors. Beats being locked up in the house.
Since the course has 9 holes with tee boxes set up for very young or very new golfers, I have brought along a ten year old grandson. It gives him a chance to get the feel of playing golf on an actual course. The shorter tee box setups are perfect for a young or new golfer.
The greens are very good. The regular tee boxes are good. Most of the fairways are in good condition and will get better with time. The sand traps are in great condition. The course is a bit shorter but still a fun golf experience. The extras that have been added to the course and the club house areas are excellent.
I intend to cotinue golfing at Sandpiper and to encourage others to play there as well.

Sandpiper
Although the greens were sanded they putted great, greens are very good and the course overall in in good shape. Enjoyed the round and will play again in the near future. Friendly staff and the upgrades to the course and clubhouse is great.
Hi ddg52. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Links of Sandpiper.
Fair shape
The front 9 is in good condition. The fairways are for the most part good grass and hittable surface. The gfeens are all very good. The back 9 however is a different story. The fairways are rough with a lot of patchy spots and little grass. The greens on the back 9 are all very good. If you don't mind hitting approach shots from bare ground or implementing a rule with your buddies to be able to place the ball on some nearby grass the back 9 is OK. If hitting from bare ground and play it as it lies is not for you, you might want to wait until a little more work has been done to improve the back fairways. Overall for us though the round was good and I like this course so I am willing to put up with the conditions some. Still a good value.

Great Course!
For Florida summer, the course is in really good shape. There are still some bare spots, but overall the course is good. The greens are getting faster as the course dries out, but the greens are still pretty receptive. They recently sanded the greens, but they were still very playable. The proshop staff was quick to get us checked in and ready to play. The restaurant staff was very professional, wearing face masks all the time (and correctly!). They were very attentive and took really good care of us.
I live almost 45 minutes from this course, but the playability, especially for.my wife, and the excellent condition of the course will certainly see me back again soon.

Beautiful Course
First time playing the course today with some friends. Love the layout. Undulations are a great change from some of the other courses around. Greens were lush and rolled true. Will definitely be back with more friends.
