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.

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.

Grass is cut well and defined roughs., and the greens are is great shape.

Nice course
Course was in really nice condition staff was very friendly a couple of areas are a little rough but they are steadily working on it great value like the lay out a little tight in some places so you have to play position golf

Under Construction
I played here with one other person. We had some trouble navigating some holes, blind fairways, greens were slow, all of the construction going on on back nine hurt the holes as they were shortened the greens. Yardage didn’t reflect and was tough to score good. Fairways were tough, rough was not terrible, greens were slow.
When it’s finished I’ll try again but not until then.
